the Back Cover
In The Fly Fisherman's Guide to the Meaning of Life,
author Peter Kaminsky writes knowingly about the angler's
passion of pursuit, as well as the equally important
pursuit of passion. Kaminsky offers up his own hard-won
lessons from the field, words of wisdom from some of
the sport's master casters, and, hopefully, the inspiration
to his readers to live life as the ultimate adventure
each and every day.

Review from Amazon.Com
This is an excellent collection of Hemingway's writings
about fishing, each taken from a larger work. It is
a great introduction to Hemingway if your new to him,
and a great refresher to him if you've been away for
awhile. Read this book and you won't be disappointed,
but please do each work the respect of reading the book
it came from, and experience each work in it's original
context.

Review from Amazon.Com
A delightful rarity. It is unusual to find an author
of a fishing book who is as fluent with words as he
is with a fly rod. In probability, The Longest Silence
will disappoint many diehard anglers anxious for 'how
to' or 'where to' information. But it will delight those
who relish good writing.
Drenched
in atmosphere and with a warmth that glows like the
embers of a campfire, this book is about the fishing,
rather than the fish. Haunting, mesmerising and tremendously
readable, The Longest Silence is a piece of literature
that will become a fishing classic. It has been criticized
for McGuane's affection for high-cost fishing holes
and there may well be some merit in this, but it is
the writing and not the locations that generates the
fascination.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
As he says in the prologue to his book, Michael Checchio
likes his fly-fishing on big western rivers where there
are lots of mountains to look at, and where the steelhead
don't come out of a hatchery but are born as nature
intended, in the cold gravel of a clean stream. He finds
all this and more up in British Columbia on his search
for some of the last great runs of wild steelhead left
on earth.

Review from Amazon.Com
If you recognize with reverence this closing passage
from Norman Maclean's classic "A River Runs Through
It", you will equally treasure "On The Spine
Of Time". It is a story of finding one's self in
the beauty and solitude of the mountain streams of the
Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.
The stories are as much about the history of the area
as they are about the experiences of one man as he seeks
retreat from the trauma of everyday life in the city.
It is a book you will read over and over. In decades
of reading outdoor stories I have only found two other
books that are as beautiful as this one.

Review from Amazon.Com
In River Music you will find essays on Riverside cuisine
and theories on social grouping according to whether
you drink beer or spirits when camped by a river. There's
also an exploration of a mid-life crisis played out
while fishing and a brilliant story of ice-fishing.
The
theme that links it all is the heritage of a musical
father, Babb's tinnitus that sounds like a river in
symphony and accompanies him wherever he goes, and the
endless and soothing music that rivers make. This is
a good book and I recommend you read it.
