| | Description | "Peter Kaminsky does not merely love fly fishing, he is giddy, schoolboy-crush besotted with it."—The Washington Post The fly fisherman is a unique breed of sportsman—he loves the sparkle of sunlight dancing off a trout stream, the surreal beauty of a mayfly hatch on a spring day, and the heart-thumping eruption of a surface strike by a large trout. Here Peter Kaminsky writes about the angler’s passion and his pursuit of knowledge. He explains how long days without fish can teach you how to deal with failure and how releasing a caught fish can remind us about ethics. He offers inspiration to readers who love the sport as much as he does. | |

 He Said It - Not Me Apr 22, 2010
By Lightman
On page 100 of this precious little tome the author writes, "There are plenty of bloviating gasbags out there who look at fly fishing as a way to write overblown, over-serious, over precious stuff".
He said it - I didn't have to...
Why then as many as four stars?
Anything having to do with fly fishing, no matter how bad, is still good.
And any writer who manages to use the word "bloviating" deserves kudos, even if in doing so he's condemning himself.

 complete waste of money Feb 14, 2011
By William F. Wagner
I've read a fair portion of the fly-fishing books out there, and this is the worst one I've come across. It's so bad I occasionally pull it off the shelf and tell myself, "it couldn't have been that bad," but after a few pages I put it down again in disgust. I really should just burn it or toss it in the trash, so there's no danger anyone else will waste a portion of his life reading it.
I'm not even sure this guy is much of a fisher, but if you told me the author had googled all the platitudes, stereotypes, and cliches, dumped it into a "Chicken Soup for the Fly Fisher" format, and renamed with a faux-Zen title, I would have to agree...and respect you, for having had the temerity to finish the thing.
good read and not the same as all the reflective books out there Feb 18, 2012
By Roger S. Stark
This was a good read because it was about fly fishing without all the same mystical self reflection that is polluting the other books of this kind. the stories are about things that are relateable and not at all one in a million type things. I could see these things happening to me and the fishing friends I talk with

 Great Book! Jan 03, 2008
By D. Peters
"Baseballnut"
This book appeals to those of us in the FF community with a philosophical bent. There are some real gems here. Read it. Ponder. Continue the journey toward enlightment.

 Quick entertaining read, but little more than that Nov 16, 2010
By Dr. Cardinal
"Cardinal Bound!!!!"
This book promises a lot right to the reader, and right on the cover as well. However, this book does not offer little more than a compelling story about a few episodes in which the writer came to some new insight. These just happened to occur (or at least seemed that way) during fishing. So a random insight that occurs during a fishing trip is now rendered into something that was brought about by fishing. This is why the book over promises and under delivers. Still, it is entertaining. It just is not all you would expect from just reading the title. Consequently, you will be disappointed. Now you do not have to because you have read this. Anyway, get it at your own peril.
