Water so wet you can touch it, fish shimmering in their silver mantels and rugged sea captains telling their tales: Writer Kirk Deeter carries us along on an adventurous fly fishing excursion of the American Coast, but it is the amazing photographs of Marco Lorenzetti that bring the book to life. Shot in a large format technique, the images of primordial sea creatures take a leap to the refined coffee table genre. Lorenzetti's clouds and coast are so detailed and luminous that you are on the boat. And with book in hand, you will never tire of the exploration.

My first experience with author Kirk Deeter was an article in Fly Fisherman about Lee's Ferry. I ended up in Marble Canyon with Terry Gunn for my bachelor party and had some of the best fishing of my life! Kirk's writing is the benchmark to which all other outdoor writers should be judged! Tideline is another example of his quality work!!

When I first opened "Tideline," it was the portraits of nine gritty sea captains that riveted me, their uncompromising gazes captured by the lens of photographer Marco Lorenzetti. What does it take to challenge the seas and chase the big fish that prowl the coast from Texas to California? Writer Kirk Deeter lets eight men and a woman tell us their briney tales while Lorenzetti and his camera place us in the captains' environment. With wondrous images of fish, water, clouds and coast we are fly casting, chasing dreams and living the experience.
