What Flyfishing Teaches Us

Hardcover, 96 Pages. 7" x 6" Fly fishing is a noble sport whose avid practitioners learn the skills of finesse, observation and technique-and that would be great if it all stopped there. But fly fishing is more-oh so much more-than the stream side perfection of a mere handful of angling skills.The broader curriculum also teaches us: Frustration ("When we see trout feeding regardless of our fly...the resentment is almost like the anger of a madman." -Harold Russell); Jealousy("Fly fishing is like sex, everyone thinks there is more than there is, and that everyone else is getting more than their share." -Henry Kanemotto); Lying ("The question is not whether successful fishermen believe in God, but vice versa." -Don Roberts); and Obstinance ("If I'm not going to catch anything, then I'd rather not catch anything on flies." - Bob Lawless).What Fly Fishing Teaches Us relates these lessons and many more in pithy words from angling literature and dazzling Denver Bryan photographs.Fly anglers
