About this listen

 Jim Harrison, Pam Houston, Ted Leeson, Nick Lyons, Thomas McGuane, and more, share stories of fly fishing and life on the river. This marvelous collection features stories from some of America’s finest and most respected writers about one of the world’s most solitary and satisfying sports: fly fishing. For the first time, the stories of thirty-one acclaimed writers including Kim Barnes, Walter Bennett, Russell Chatham, Guy de la Valdne, Robert DeMott, Chris Dombrowski, Ron Ellis, Jim Fergus, Kate Fox, Charles Gaines, Bruce Guernsey, Jim Harrison, Pam Houston, Michael Keaton, Greg Keeler, Sydney Lea, Ted Leeson, Nick Lyons, Craig Mathews, Thomas McGuane, Joseph Monninger, Howard Frank Mosher, Jake Mosher, Craig Nova, Margot Page, Datus Proper, Le Anne Schreiber, Paul Schullery, W. D. Wetherell, and Robert Wrigley come together in one collection. Fly fishers and non-fly fishers alike will recognize in these poignant tales the universal aspects of the appreciation of nature, the necessity of conservation, and the joy and knowledge that come from time spent on fresh and salt water. This is a delightful, handsome volume that captures the allure and spirit of fly fishing and those that love it.©2012 Robert DeMott (P)2012 Audible, Inc.

Editorial Reviews

Nick Lyons, Jim Harrison, and Pam Houston are among the many excellent writers who contribute to this collection of ruminative and lyrical essays on fly-fishing. The observation is made more than once in Astream: American Writers on Fly Fishing that the kind of temperament drawn to fly-fishing is also the type to feel a tug of adrenaline on the line at the sight of a well-crafted sentence. Not surprisingly, this collection will appeal to the fly-fishing enthusiast as well as the devoted reader. Narrator Brian Morris gives a thoughtful and evocative reading of these many essays, which are by turns humorous, insightful, and beautiful. An artful and meditative commemoration of an artful and meditative pastime.
