Epiphanies, Serendipities & Sacred Spaces

About the Book

These stories aren’t about fly fishing. They describe what happened as a result of it. You won’t read about trophy catches or be overwhelmed with arcane technical jargon. You’ll read about the writer’s relationship to the activity wherein he chronicles lessons learned, weaknesses exposed, human truths revealed; pleasant serendipities, senses of place. Not everything you’ll read is true. After all, a “true fishing story” is an oxymoron and why spoil a good story with the truth? What’s true and what’s not? For you to decide. Most of it is.
