Publisher's Note
The
number of books on fly fishing written by women has been practically
nil, for it has been historically considered a male preserve--until
now. This book offers new voices, fresh perspectives and excellent
writing from some of the country's finest contemporary writers.
Industry reviews
"Their
angle is different not because they're women but because they know that
the point of a good story usually isn't one of the elements in it. It's
not the person or the fish or the river. It's the part that doesn't
have a place in the story when you start. It's the part that is
conjured. Its presence depends on the writer having the sense to make
room for the spirit." Los Angeles Times Book Review - John Casey (06/04/1995)
"Charming, funny, provocative... a delightful anthology." Nelson Bryant
"Many
of these writers came to fly fishing in order to defy, or to wow, or to
woo a man. But once the River speaks, the man becomes a superfluous
distraction and a woman finds herself standing alone, in living water,
defying and wowing and wooing the self. This is the moment the fly
fisher is born. This beautiful birth is the heartbeat of these stories." David J. Duncan
"Both
men and women will enjoy these sometimes poignant, more often humorous
tales of uniformly high quality. . . . Heartily recommended." Hogan
