Not a bad book, I guess but probably one you can live without. Too many pictures has already been seen in Val Atkinson's previous books and the concept is exactly the same: Get some good written texts, none original, and mix it with nice pictures and good lay-out. I think is time for Val to come up with something more original. He could do better.
my husband loves it! September 1, 2007

My husband loves this book. It was much cheaper at Amazon than Orvis. He looks the short stories and reads it off and on. Great gift for a fly- fishing guy!
