From the Back Cover
Fly fishing for trout can reveal much of the human condition, and it drives and inspires devoted anglers and writers such as the ones who appear in the following pages. Most of us are inhabitants of that vast middle ground of angling - passionate weekend participants, near-experts, enthusiastic beginners - and it is only through the richly diverse writings and efforts of others that we can truly see and appreciate the dimensions and importance of this sport we care so much about. If we are truly attentive, perhaps we will allow it to treat us to a certain glimpse of our place in the natural order of things.
This is a fly-fishing book that speaks to the dedication anglers have for their favorite pastime. No matter what your experience or level of expertise, you will come away from this compilation with a better understanding of and fervor for this magnificent sport.
