River Songs: Moments of Wild Wonder in Fly Fishing

"River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic stories--writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly-fishing's cliches--the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish--Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope?"-- Provided by publisher.
