Description:
Jennifer Olsson is a spy in the ranks; her keen eye for detail and generous spirit make Cast Again a pleasure to read and a lesson to anyone bent on introducing a loved one to fly-fishing. A guide in Montana for more than 10 years before becoming a full-time writer, Olsson's voice is that of the infiltrator. She smuggles the usual bits of information--the dilemmas of a difficult sport--from the front but deciphers them through her own unique perspective. In "I'd Like to Get My Wife into Fly-Fishing," the narrator (also a fly-fishing guide named Jennifer) and her freshly coiffed client spend a day shopping on the sly at the western boutiques instead of fishing. In "Just One," the same narrator struggles to snare a fish for her inexperienced client, and when the woman finally lands a big, beautiful brown trout, the narrator hopes that her client's waiting husband won't ask, "Just one?" These are stories that sparkle and instruct.
