Some people love fly-fishing and some people love the great outdoors. Philip Weigall loves both. And as his acclaimed earlier books have shown, he’s also a master story-teller with a gift for observing nature and people. Philip Weigall weaves his fly-fishing stories with the colorful thread of life. In this collection of Trout Stories, there are bush-fires and snow-storms; crowded Japanese streams and remote New Zealand mountains even an unsolved murder! Of course, with every tale, there are fish caught and fish lost. Big fish and little fish. But with each river crossed and each lake waded, there is warmth, wisdom and good humour to be netted along the way.
