About this title

Synopsis:

Arthur Shilstone captures the beauty of American fly fishing through his masterful brushwork, and author Ed Gray's word images evoke the spirit and essence of the sport. Flashes in the River is an inspiring and colorful fly fishing journey taken from the brawling rivers of the mountainous West to the storied streams of the East and all the hallowed waters in between.

Review:

Flashes in the River is the first volume in a projected 'images' series pairs Gray's essays with Shilstone's watercolors of fly fishing: the result being a fine first-person "you are there" experiential text which displays both art and fly fishing lore and wonder. Excellent images abound throughout Flashes in the River. -- Midwest Book Review
