Immerse yourself in the waters of the world according to Bryan Archer, fisherman, autodidact and philosopher. This serene memoir is a love letter to the rivers he has fished and the people he has fished them with, the flies he has used and the people who came before him.
Written with great affection and skill, this book visits some of the world’s most spectacular fishing venues, exploring their history, their fish and their flies, and takes us into the lives and works of the great thinkers, writers and friends that have accompanied the meditative fisherman on his journey round the globe.
