A look at the philosophy of fishing, who fishes, and why do they do it? How to quantify the joys of fishing and why there is so much more to the sport than simply catching fish.
This book is the third by Alexander Schwab, having written Hook Line and Thinker (2003), Dear Jim and Fish Feel Pain (2024).
REVIEW:
A provocative and stimulating approach to angling always impressively objective, balanced, sometimes quirky and occasionally disturbing. A thoughtful book from a champion of angling virtues. --Dear Jim reviewed by Flyfisher's Journal
