""A wonderful, humane, and big-hearted book. Kaminsky writes terrifically on angling, certainly, but also on food, friendship, family and the passage of time, which is to say, on living. A delight for those of us obsessed with fishing, but also for anybody who loves the printed word."" ----David Coggins, author of The Optimist and The Believer ""In this book of short sketches punctuated by riveting photography, Kaminsky's path is openness, curiosity, and a delight in the multiple curiosities that make up the strange, quirky, and beautiful world of fly angling. The Zen of Flyfishing's in-the-moment appreciation for that journey--and its delight in the wonder of fly angling's multifaceted sparkle--resonates through this book.""----Steve Duda, author River Songs ""One of those rare books that I will find myself reading again and again. It is a poignant reminder of why we flyfish and why it matters . . . This one's a keeper!"" ----Steve Ramirez, author of Casting Forward ""Peter Kaminsky is one of the world's most revered angling journalists and authors."" ----Kirk Deeter, Trout Unlimited ""This is a splendid book, wonderfully written and gorgeously illustrated. I would expect nothing less from the dean of American flyfishing writing."" ----Monte Burke, author of Lords of the Fly and Saban
