Description
A sumptuous celebration of the ancient art of fly-fishing, as well as an encapsulation of every fly-fisherman's dreams The World of Fly-fishing sweeps us along on a worldwide journey to experience the beauty and thrill of fishing for trout and salmon, tarpon, permit and bonefish. The fly-fishing destinations have been chosen for the interest and variety of their fishing, and for the impact and beauty of their landscapes. Revered figures from fly-fishing's literary hall of fame, such as Zane Grey and Roderick Haig-Brown, keep company with some of the best-known contemporary writers, including Tom McGuane, David Profumo and John Gierach. With more than 300 stunning photographs from the highly individual lens of renowned photographer R. Valentine Atkinson, The World of Fly-fishing is an irresistible visual and literary feast of the sport.
