Notes: "...a beautiful collection of photographs depicting friendship and camaraderie in the world of fly fishing. The book focuses on moments that build and bind relationships, moments that are traditional in character and remembered for a lifetime: husbands and wives, old friends, fishermen and their dogs, fathers, sons and daughters". Great photographs by Valentine Atkinson, accompanied by stories and excerpted pieces by many noted authors, as well as several less well known. Contributers include John Gierach, Zane Grey, Nick Lyons, Thomas McGuane, Norman Maclean, Chris Santella, Margot Page, G.E.M. Skues, Ernest Schwiebert, Robert Traver (John D.
