This is a fascinating book that opened my eyes to the acceptance of the unknown as a reality. It taught me to enthusiastically embrace and enjoy the “not knowing” as an adventure, rather than being intimidated by it.
This is a deeply personal book for me, about how there is beauty in simple, elemental skills. Through skill, we engage the world around us in all its potential and meaning. The book helped me move beyond the overly complex and constricted thinking that typifies academic dialogue. The idea that I took from it is that what is perceived as simple can actually be the most complex and meaningful, and that often the overlooked point is the most important.
I grew up near where this story takes place, and it resonated with me on an almost spiritual level—the land, the personalities, the culture, the family, and the industry. I’m not a fly fisherman but I know this place and these people. Those two things: the place and the people—in all their beauty and ugliness—they somehow need each other.
