Available for pre-orders: The Best Fly Fishing is Everywhere, the book.
A contemplative journey through water and time, this collection of essays, stories, and meditations explores fly fishing as a dialogue between human and nature, solitude and connection, movement and stillness. From the misty rivers of Oregon to the urban waters of Tokyo, the windswept flats of Key West to the trout-laced waters of New Zealand.
The way the story goes,
I caught my first brook trout when I was six years old. My father cheered for me, filled with excitement and pride. After calming down, he asked what I thought about that. Straight faced, I replied, "I wanna catch another one."
Twenty years later, I netted the first trout after six fish-less hours for a client who had never touched a fly rod before. Relieved, I slapped him on the back and asked what he thought about that, and he responded with the exact same answer. I guess I had that coming.
