Customer Reviews

A man in love with Nature

Fishing with Faeries is a work suited for more than just fly fishermen, those who may mistakenly be taken for its primary audience. Fishing with Faeries is a story for anyone who welcomes a subject expounded upon by someone in love with that subject; it is a work for those who appreciate word pictures and descriptions beautifully wrought; it is an escape for those who fantasize being somewhere else and otherwise occupied with an interest, avocation, or hobby enjoyed over the humdrum of our workaday existence. Every time Robert flicks his fly into a brook or stream you get the feeling that he is reconnecting, that his line is an umbilical reattaching him to Nature. Read Fishing with Faeries with the joy, humor, and reverence with which it was written.

so much more then just a fly fishing book

This book is sharp and whitty. Whimsical and fun. It touches the reader and is about so much more then just a fishing story.It is well written and attentive to detail. It is also very human and beautiful I do think anyone (even us non-fishing folks) will find this book enchanting and a wonderful read.I enjoyed it from cover to cover. Well Done Mr. Romano.

Thoughts of a non-fishing reader

I loved this book. You don't have to be a fly fisherman (I am not) to appreciate his lovely way with words which gives you a close look into the depth of feeling he has for his subject.I recommend this book to fly fishermen, of course, and also those who appreciate the flow of language when written from the heart.

Fishing With Faeries

I have been fly fishing for a bit but feel anyone who enjoys being out of doors will enjoy this book. I found the author to be informative while not taking himself too seriously. His descriptions of the stream and its surroundings made me feel I was there with him. I also liked the references to fly fishing literature and some of the famous fly fishers that have come and gone. The author seems to truly love what he is writing about and the faeries made me chuckle. I would recomend this new book to young and old.
