About this ebook
From the author of Fifty Places to Fish Before You Die: celebrated anglers recount unforgettable catches, outdoor adventures, and the ones that got away.
Fishing author Chris Santella invited fifty celebrated fly fishers to share their favorite stories based on their travels and experiences on the water. The result is this delightful collection of stories that are, surprisingly enough for fishermen, true.
Fifty Favorite Fly-Fishing Tales includes stories that range from the comical to the poignant, inspirational, incredible, and absurd. It tells of Ralph Cutter casting in complete darkness for blind catfish in the caves of Borneo; J. W. Smith boxing grizzlies to protect his tent camp in Alaska; and George Anderson fly fishing for saltwater crocodiles in Cuba. It also describes how Jean Williams, through trout fishing in the Colorado Rockies, helped to bridge the chasm between a type-A father and his neglected son.
Accompanied by stunning photographs, the stories in this book reflect not only the rich experience of fly fishing but also how it can extend beyond the rivers, oceans, and fish to touch the core of our daily lives.
