 Too many metaphors, not enough fish. June 10, 2003
6 out of 12 found this review helpful
I can't read this book. If you're going to write about fishing, write about it honestly and tell us why you love it, don't start out with a web of "points of fixity" "dim inferences" "sources of hidden significance". Hemingway once said if you know something truly, and write about it truly, it will represent all things. I can't give this book a fair review, because after just reading Robert Traver's yarns, the styloe of this one just irritates me.
 Read it. June 17, 1999

Mr. Leeson's book is about flyfishing, but it is not your typical flyfishing book. It is much more well-written and insightful than anything else written on the subject. Read it; you will not be disppointed.
Must reading for all flyfishers and naturalists December 27, 1996

With the poetic delivery of Maclean, and the naturalistvision of Thoreau, Ted Leeson paints a beautiful,and sometimes comical,mosiac of fly fishing the Northwest. As I read this book I am reminded that the most noble and rewarding aspect of my sport is not the mere catching of fish, but it is the beautiful & mystical arena in which we are privileged to practice it.
