Item description from seller

WALL, Roy [215] pp. G.P. Putnam's Sons 1948 8 3/8" x 5 7/8" Illustrated by G. Don Ray The Contemplative Angler, written by Roy Wall, is a book that explores the art of fly fishing from a meditative and reflective perspective. The author, an experienced angler and a student of Zen Buddhism, shares his personal journey of discovering the spiritual and philosophical aspects of fishing. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the contemplative angler's journey. The first part explores the inner workings of the angler's mind and how it affects their fishing experience. The author discusses the importance of being present in the moment, letting go of distractions, and developing a deeper connection with nature. The second part delves into the technical aspects of fly fishing, including the equipment, techniques, and strategies that can enhance the angler's experience. The author shares his knowledge and experience in a clear and concise manner, providing practical tips and advice for both novice and experienced anglers. The final part of the book is a collection of stories and reflections from the author's own fishing experiences. Through these stories, the author illustrates the deep connection between fishing and spirituality, and how the contemplative angler can use fishing as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery. Overall, The Contemplative Angler is a unique and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the art of fly fishing. It combines practical advice with spiritual and philosophical insights, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in fishing, meditation, or personal growth.
