Synopsis
In Fly-Fishing, Christopher Schaberg ponders his lifetime pursuit of the widely mythologized art of fly-fishing. From the Michigan lakeshore where he learned to fish to casting flies in a New Orleans bayou, Schaberg sketches landscapes and fish habitats and shows how fly-fishing allows him to think about coexisting with other species. It offers Schaberg a much-needed source of humility, social isolation, connection with nature, and a reminder of environmental degradation. Rather than centering fishing on trophies, conquest, and travel, he advocates for a “small-fishing” that values catching the diminutive fish near one’s home. Introspective and personal, Fly-Fishing demonstrates how Schaberg’s obsession indelibly shapes how he understands and lives in the wider world.

About the Author
Christopher Schaberg is Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English at Loyola University New Orleans.
From the Back Cover
"Fly-Fishing is about what Schaberg calls small-fishing—the kind done close to home for species that don't necessarily make the glamour list. But like this deceptively simple pursuit, the book itself is much deeper and more layered than the humble title might indicate. With beautiful descriptive language and plenty of introspection, Schaberg's story is about more than just fishing—it's about time, the world, and our place in both." —Dylan Tomine, author of Headwaters: The Adventures, Obsession, and Evolution of a Fly Fisherman
