This is a book that you will want to keep from yur significant other. It opens up the door to dreams of destinations and fish to come. The colors are too vibrant, the stories (all by very fine authors) ring too true. After reading this your next stop will be either the travel agent or the tackle shop to be followed in rapid succession by a trip to the stop that you didn't visit first.

One for any coffee table. Fog bound English trout streams to glaringly bright Christmas Island bonefish flats to wide Rocky Mountain Streams to expansive New Zealand rivers. Perhaps a little over emphised on North American fly pursuits and salmo-trutto centred, but worth reading never the less. If you fly fish and travel, Beware!! The feet will itch and the bank manager will not be your best friend after this.

The passion of this sport can only be equalled to the experience you'll have as you experience this book. Valentine's heart felt love for the sport, beauty and adventure are palpable on every page. A must buy for anyone who fly fishes, takes photos, travels to the world's great natural water wonders.... Simply the best book I have seen for years

Singularly the best book published in this past decade on the art of flyfishing, nature loving, and photography. It will inspire you to pick up your rod, the phone, and make plans for your next adventure into the idyllic spots that only flyfishing can take you!

Same stories, same photos, different title, different cover photo.

All 12 stories from "Distant Waters" are repeated in "The Greatest Fly Fishing Around the World" -- so don't buy both books thinking they're different.

Nowhere that I could find is there a note that these are all stories repeated word-for-word in the other book.

Unfortunately, I bought a used copy and it almost didn't pay to return it, given the cost of postage.
