Calling After Water (eBook, ePUB)

Dispatches from a Fishing Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dave Karczynski fishes-and writes-with both eyes wide open to the magic of water. With the trademark blend of adventure, humor, and insight that has made him one fly fishing's most widely published authors, this collection of nineteen essays charts Dave's journey as he casts his way from the quiet streams of the Upper Midwest to the far corners of the earth-and back again. Readers will tramp across Patagonia with a shamanic brook trout whisperer, raft through the Himalayas in search of golden mahseer, hunt native brown trout in the Bohemian highlands, and revel in the promise of a Northern Michigan spinner fall. With prose that alternately flashes like the sides of a leaping salmon and glitters like riffle water on a summer morning, Calling After Water is one of those rare books that delights its readers as much as it invites them to reflect on their own love of fly fishing.

Autorenporträt

Dave Karczynski has cast to fish on four continents and written for just about every fly fishing publication under the sun. His first book, From Lure to Fly, introduced conventional anglers to the joy of chasing fish on the fly rod, while his second book, Smallmouth, explored modern tactics and techniques for hunting the bronze bass. In Calling After Water, his third book and first essay collection, Dave brings together the very best narratives from his time as a contributor to such iconic magazines as Outdoor Life, The Drake, American Angler, The Flyfish Journal, and many others. Dave is the recipient of the Robert Traver Award in fly fishing writing as well as a Zell Fellowship in creative writing. He currently lives with his wife and daughter on a farm in southern Michigan and teaches writing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
