Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fly fishing is a world of dilemmas, and Jessica Maxwell tangles her line in any number of them in this exuberant, witty account of learning to "fish first for the joy of it". Hopscotching from a series of Western rivers to outer Mongolia, Maxwell explores the rich eddies of women in nature, the language of rivers, the importance of "learning to think like a fish", and the elusive stare of grace she calls "quantum fishing". At times fly fishing opens surprising emotional doors — leading to meditations on her relationship with her angler-father, as well as wry observations on being a woman in an almost all-male fraternity.

In these pages, veteran anglers will see their sport through new eyes, and the many women who have newly embraced fly fishing will now have a voice, a guide, a fishing buddy of their own.
