Flyfishing as Life

One of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It was recommended to me as a transplanted Maritimer, a fly fisher and fly tier, all of which the heroine also is. For a book of its era it is amazingly modern in many of its sentiments. Others reviews here have delved into the storyline and potential meanings of events; I simply encourage the reader to enjoy Wilson's lyrical descriptions of flyfishing the beautiful rivers of BC, such as the Similkameen, and the heroine's enjoyment of a life spent outdoors as part of nature.
