Overview
A gorgeously illustrated collection of first-person stories on the sublime joy of flyfishing
Ā
Every fly fisher has one: that momentāthat ineffable, transcendent momentāthey can point to and say,Ā Thatās it. That was when time seemed to stop and I felt fully alive. Thatās why I fish.
Collected and framed by the award-winning writer Peter Kaminsky, The Catch of a LifetimeĀ presents the moving first-person stories of more than seventy anglers recounting their catch of a lifetime. With its tales of brown trout in Montana and bluefish at Montauk Point, smallmouth in Minnesotaās Boundary Waters and unforgettable adventures with giant taimen on the steppes of central Asia, bonefish in New Caledonia, white marlin in the Baja, and golden dorado in the tribal lands along the Amazonās headwaters, this gorgeously illustrated anthology is a transporting testament to the call that all anglers heedāto get out there and be one with the water. It distills perfectly the magic of the sport; you canāt read it and not want to go fishing.
The contributor list is a diverse whoās who of writers, artists, sportspeople, and others whoāve made flyfishing a singular passion, including Carl Hiaasen, Joan Wulff, Tom Colicchio, Charles Gaines, Rachel Maddow, Mark Kurlansky, Brittany Howard, John McPhee, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Jared Zissu. Their encounters, their memories, the words they use to describe, say, a forty-pound salmon leaping into the air or the sight of a great blue heron soaring down the creek to steal a catch make this the book of a lifetime for any fly fisher.
