  • Eloquent silence

    Novelist McGuane (Nothing but Blue Skies, etc.) celebrates everything about angling in this collection of 33 essays, which is certain to entertain fellow enthusiasts and fans of his writing. Any notion that fishing is humdrum is dispelled when McGuane describes eloquently his lifelong love affair with the sport, from the joys of tying flies and testing different rods, to sharing ghost stories and observational gems with fellow anglers, to absorbing quietly life's mysteries.

  • A lifetime of fishing

    Got it as a gift seven years ago and read it cover to cover. It got me started on what will be a lifetime in Fly Fishing and an obsession in collecting vintage and antique fly fishing equipment. Worth reading since the author is a great writer and sportsman who is able to transport you to the time and place he describes most effectively. He writes about all types of fly fishing running the gamut from stalking old country trout in the fabled streams of Ireland to fishing Montana for trout and stalking the denizens of the flats like Permit and Tarpon down in the Keys. Really enjoyable.

  • Book is ok

    The book is ok. I'm not real excited about his writing style but it is good reading.

  • The Longest Silence

    Great book even if you don’t like to fish. Similar but much less heavy handed compared to Hemingway.
