Here is a beautifully written meditation on the art, grace, and style of fly fishing, presented in a photo-driven package that's the perfect gift for every angler. Gorgeous visuals of the world's top flyfishing people, places, and things (from the spring creeks of Montana to the ocean flats of the Bahamas) are interspersed with quotes from the greats and more than 20 short, lyrical essays by Peter Kaminsky, a world-renowned and award-winning flyfishing author. With enchanting sections on the art of casting, fly selection, and the life lessons we learn on the water, readers will feel all the Zen, calm-and excitement-of when a cast summons forth a strike.

Reviews for The Zen of Flyfishing

""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
