Amateur or expert, every angler dreams of landing "the big one", but that's only part of the appeal of fly fishing.
Even when hours pass without a bite, nothing beats the rugged beauty of the surroundings.

Through interviews with the sport's acknowledged gurus, Santella goes beyond standard guides to convey the very essence of the recommended locations. The essays include a cultural and natural history of each site, how-to hints, and colorful anecdotes.

Besides breathtakingly beautiful photos, the book also provides you with plenty of travel-and-tackle information, including prime time, how to get there, accommodations, and suggested equipment.
