Perhaps the most innovative fly-fishing writer of his generation, Steve Raymond reaches a new level in this collection of five short stories and a novella. Here you'll learn the fate of the world's first genetically modified fly fisher, discover the secret behind the amazing success of an isolated little fly shop, and find out what was really going on between the sainted Theodore Gordon and his mysterious young woman fishing companion. You'll witness the suspenseful trial of the world's most famous fly fisher, chuckle at the tale of an angler who outwitted the Internal Revenue Service and his own accountant, and laugh out loud at the "real" story behind the first words ever written about fly fishing. And you'll agree with the words of Arnold Gingrich in his classic work, The Fishing in Print: "Such books, and such authors, are rare, and Raymond is somebody simply not to be missed." 6x9 inches, 216 pgs. Hardcover
