Few experiences can compare to a shark attack while casting to world record bonefish to help put a diagnosis of cancer in perspective. Fly-fishing winds like an interactive time machine through the pages of this book, taking you on a 340 million year journey from Carboniferous mayflies the size of canaries to contemporary Mexico where the direct descendent of Mayan Jaguar Priests learn to be flats fishing guides. These short stories, in the classic tradiiton, are funny, informative, poignant, & filled with enough action to keep you up reading late into the night.
