Every fly fisher has one: that moment—that ineffable, transcendent moment—they can point to and say, That’s it. That’s why I fish. Collected and framed by the award-winning writer Peter Kaminsky, this presents the moving first-person stories of more than 70 anglers recounting their catch of a lifetime. This gorgeously illustrated anthology is a transporting testament to the call that all anglers heed—to get out there and be one with the water. It distills perfectly the magic of the sport; you can’t read it and not want to go fishing. The contributor list is a diverse who’s who of writers, artists, sportspeople, and others who’ve made flyfishing a singular passion, including Carl Hiaasen, Joan Wulff, Tom Colicchio, Charles Gaines, Rachel Maddow, Mark Kurlansky, Brittany Howard, John McPhee, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Jared Zissu.
