Fly Fisherman&39s Blue Ridge [Paperback]

CHRISTOPHER CAMUTO is author of A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge and Another Country (both Georgia). He has written for a wide range of publications, including Field & Stream, Fly Fisherman, Sports Afield, and Sierra. Camuto is also the book review columnist for Audubon and Gray's Sporting Journal and writes the "Watersheds" column for Trout Unlimited's Trout magazine.This new edition of A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge offers readers a chance to revisit a contemporary classic of fly fishing literature, a book that takes the reader through a year of fly fishing backcountry mountain streams from Pennsylvania to Georgia. Camuto's love of trout fishing is wedded to a keen awareness of both history and nature. Although the author has fished for trout from Oregon to Russia, he still lives in the shadow of the Blue Ridge and still considers its trout streams to be the best rivers he has ever fished.

A treasure for any fly fisherman.

The best book about fly-fishing to come along in some years.

A series of deeply moving essays on an American region by an angler with an eye for detail and a poet's way with the language. Camuto's first book reminds one of Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, even Thoreau.

A book that is both environmental journalism and literary celebration—both human history and natural history. Very few fishing writers can do all these things at once, and even fewer can do them as well as [Camuto] has.

One of the best written fishing books that has crossed our desk in many years.

The kind of book you pull down from the shelf on a windy, cold January evening, after you've put another log on the fire and poured a big mug of coffee. It will move you ontls§
