Seasons of a Fisherman, The

A Fly Fisher's Classic Evocations of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Fishing

by Roderick Haig-Brown, introduction by Ted Leeson

tagged: fish
Description

Roderick L. Haig-Brown is one of the world's most beloved fly-fishing writers. His classic books bring together exquisite prose, the full romance and beauty of fishing, and much solid angling advice. Here, for the first time in one volume, are his popular seasons books: Fisherman's Spring, Fisherman's Summer, Fisherman's Fall, and Fisherman's Winter. They chronicle a fisherman's year, from the brightening days of spring through a loving portrait of the author's home rivers in British Columbia during the summer, on into the excitement of fall fishing, to a winter away from his Campbell River, to fish the great rivers of Argentina and Chile. As Verlyn Klinkenborg has said, "It think it forms some sort of watershed experience in every angler's reading when he comes upon Roderick Haig-Brown for the first time." And so it does. The Seasons of a Fisherman is an excellent place to start.
