In this book, the author explores its secrets and confronts its greatest challenge as, slowly, he acquires the various and special skills and disciplines necessary to take the large wary brown trout of this extraordinary river.

Reviews

Nick Lyons is a national treasure . . . a writerof literature who fishes, and one of the best we have. --Harry Middleton
I love Nick Lyons's books. Every sentence is so full and ripe with whatever it is that keeps us fishing--and the minute-by-minute surprise and delight of it. --Ted Hughes
A fisherman's fisherman and a writer's writer, Lyons is an acknowledged master of both crafts. Literate, philosophic, passionate, witty, and self-effacing, he has stories to tell and he's skilled in the art of telling them. --Jeff Silverman
Fly-fishing isn't a spectator sport, but if Nick Lyons fishes as skillfully as he writes about it, I'd pay to watch him. --Ed Zern
