Book Synopsis
Santella is a freelance writer, marketing consultant, and avid fly fisherman based in Portland, Oregon. To compile his list of 50 places, he interviewed master fly fishers—fishing writers and editors, fly-shop owners, outfitters, booking agents, professional fly tiers— about some of their favorite fly-fishing experiences. The 50 locations are presented in alphabetical order (by state or province if American or Canadian; the rest by country); each entry includes a brief descriptive essay about the site, followed by details on the prime time of year to go, how to get there, accommodations, and equipment recommendations. Illustrated with color photographs. No subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
