| Summary |
"Dylan Tomine takes us to the far reaches of the planet in search of fish and adventure, with keen insight, a strong stomach, and plenty of laughs along the way. Closer to home, he wades deeper into his beloved steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the politics of saving them. Tomine celebrates the joy--and pain--of exploration, fatherhood, and the comforts of home waters from a vantage point well off the beaten path. His book traces the evolution of a lifelong angler's priorities from fishing to the survival of the fish themselves."--Provided by publisher. |
