Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

Wonderfully written. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys fly fishing and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

A beautifully written ode to fly fishing and nature

Camuto takes the reader through one year of fly fishing in the Blue Ridge Mountains, delving into the changes he observes in his streams. The book contains much that is of practical use to fly fisherman, such as the timing of hatches, etc, but its real strength lies in the beauty with which Camuto describes his surroundings. He is a true naturalist in that he actually participates in that which he describes, unlike so many who only observe. I have camped in his Blue Ridge and fished his streams, and I must say that my time spent there has been enriched by his thoughtful commentary. I highly recommend this book for naturalists and fly fisherman alike.
