Watermark (Hardcover)

Here in the pages of Watermark, you will find the unforgettable record of a unique odyssey - a stunning photographic and written account of fly fishing past and present in the eastern waters of North America.The trip begins on the trout streams of southern Appalachia and moves northward - from the spring creeks of Pennsylvania to the freestones of New York and New England; from the brook trout lakes of Maine to the great salmon rivers of Atlantic Canada.Photographer/writer Grant McClintock and writer Mike Crockett first teamed up with Jack Hemingway to produce the acclaimed book Flywater, a compelling portrait of fly fishing in the American West. In Watermark, they are joined by their friend Fen Montaigne, a noted author and outdoorsman, who contributes a refreshing look at American fly fishing in its birthplace, the Catskills.The word "Watermark" is a fitting title for this work, making as it does a dual reference both to the high point in a river's level and to that unique impression which identifies a fine sheet of paper. Watermark's essays represent a high point in our fly fishing literature, and its images, struck upon paper as they were struck upon the camera's lens, imbue each page of this book with indelible character and lasting quality.
