Editorial Reviews
Review
A treasure for any fly fisherman.
-- Nick LyonsThe best book about fly-fishing to come along in some years.
-- Verlyn Klinkenborg ― Fly Rod & ReelA series of deeply moving essays on an American region by an angler with an eye for detail and a poet's way with the language. Camuto's first book reminds one of Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, even Thoreau.
-- Virginia Quarterly ReviewA book that is both environmental journalism and literary celebration―both human history and natural history. Very few fishing writers can do all these things at once, and even fewer can do them as well as [Camuto] has.
-- The FlyfisherOne of the best written fishing books that has crossed our desk in many years.
-- Virginia DailyThe kind of book you pull down from the shelf on a windy, cold January evening, after you've put another log on the fire and poured a big mug of coffee. It will move you onto a May trout stream in just a paragraph. . . . [Camuto's] look into the Blue Ridge Mountains goes well beyond the minimizing haze. He is as good a researcher and analyst as he is a writer.
-- NewsdayA work of homage to wild native brook trout.
-- New York Times Book ReviewThis isn't your usual how-to book about what to buy, what to use, what prayer to say in order to win the Governor's Trophy. Rather, it concerns the experience of fishing as a relaxing, enjoyable recreation, without hoopla and tournaments. Get it at any bookstore. You'll find this small volume perfect for a pleasant fireside evening, especially if you are concerned about the future of angling.

-Daniel J. Rice, author of THIS SIDE OF A WILDERNESS, and THE UNPEOPLED SEASON.
This is a classic. Not exactly a how-to book, not exactly a book of anecdotes. It's hard to put your finger on exactly what this book is. But it takes you away to someplace else - to a daydreamy place of adventure, discovery, ecology, ethics and science. The book is well written, and I could happily read this book every year in early spring before my first fly fishing trip of the year. That could be my annual tradition, like the one the author describes early in the book.
