Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Steve Raymond's collection of essays about fly fishing in the great rivers of the Pacific Northwest has gone through successive editions in three decades and it rightfully deserves the designation of "classic." The writing is lyrical and always highly informative, and beyond the solid material about fish and fishing, the reader is spellbound by evocative descriptions of how a cold spring stream chills an angler's legs through his waders, how it feels to have a strong trout stripping line off your reel, and what it's like to know you've landed (and then released) a very difficult fish. Best of all, The Year of the Angler transcends fishing. It's well worth reading for the quality of the writing alone. But for those who fish, it's like a having a trout on the end of a very tight line.

The absolute best angling book I've ever read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Year of the Angler (Paperback)
This is absolutley the best fly-fishing reading a person could ever do. Not only does this book provide insightful, narrative essays about NW fly-fishing but also delivers an enviornmental messages about the decimation of this areas one-time great fishing. I read this book every winter and each time it unfolds a new idea of fly-fishing for me. Where are the rest of his books?
