Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too many metaphors, not enough fish.
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it.
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must reading for all flyfishers and naturalists
Review: 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.
