A thoughtful entertaining and relaxing collection of essays on fly fishing in Vermont.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Wetherell is very good at avoiding overstatement as in each of his essays he muses on the joys of flyfishing. This is as much a book about a writer as it is about an avid fisherman. There is range here, and humor, and research, one of my personal favorites being the essay where he delves into which writers were fishermen and seldom wrote about the sport, and which writers and poets such as Chekov and Yeats wrote about the sport with elegance.

Wetherell is not a self-indulgent type of flyfisher. For him the joy is in the being there, and being part of the life that brings fishing to reality.
