About this title

About the Author:

Some of flyfishing's most gifted writers proclaim the joys and rewards of fishing urban waters.

From Booklist:

The 17 stylish essays in this anthology bring wit and insight to bear on the intriguing paradox that fishing, despite bucolic associations, is a growing part of urban culture. Such well-known fishing writers as Jerry Dennis, Nick Lyons, and James Prosek, along with literary stars Ian Frazier and Pete Fromm and 12 others, muse on the experiences of angling in such citified climes as Paris, Tokyo, London, San Francisco, and New York. Other not exactly urban but certainly nontraditional fishing venues discussed here include Niagara Falls and the fountain at a Georgia junior college. The quarry ranges from trout, grayling, salmon, and stripers to carp, chubs, and panfish. Throughout, the essays engage the reader with both their original subject matter and the variety of entertaining and enlightening writing styles, from high comedy to poetic reflection. An outstanding fishing book. John Rowen
