Synopsis

Sometimes the wildest fishing happens right in your own town-or in the city you happen to be visiting Some of fly-fishing's most gifted writers proclaim the joys and rewards of fishing urban watersShelves of books have been written about the ultimate fly-fishing experience: the trip to remote, pristine waters where fish are plentiful and wild. But sometimes there's good fishing to be found right down the street, in the most unlikely of settings. These writers share stories about the fish they've found in the midst of Manhattan, London, Tokyo, and Paris. Fishing a manmade lake in the suburbs of Minnesota, a park pond in New Jersey, in suspect rivers within sight of factories in Buffalo and Oakland, they steal an hour or two and go off to fish where they can, when they can, because they can't not fish. This unorthodox collection reveals what true fishermen understand: good fishing is to be had anywhere you can find it.

About this title

Synopsis:

Fly fishermen dream of getting away, of sneaking off to a remote mountain stream or virgin cay, where there is no noise, no traffic, no skyline. In this book some of fly fishing's most gifted writers share experiences in Manhattan, London, Tokyo, and Paris. In a man-made lake in the Minnesota suburbs, a park pond in New Jersey, a fountain pool on a college campus in the deep South, in suspect rivers within sight of factories in Buffalo, Oakland and Augusta, Maine. This unorthodox collection reveals what all true fishermen understand: good fishing is to be had anywhere you can find it.
