The Better Half of Flyfishing (Paperback)

The Better Half of Flyfishing is not an expert "how-to" book, but rather a collection of helpful hints for the beginner. The author relates humorous stories about the many faces of flyfishing gleaned from the her female perspective, both as a novice to the sport and a pragmatist to life. This refreshing look at traditions, dogma and folklore will entertain all audiences. Women are often enticed into to the sport by their "better half" male counterpart. But flyfishing also embodies a "better half," a side beyond the catch, one that is exhilarating in its human and spiritual depth. The angler is often on a journey in a sport that parallels life's curious path. The flyfishing allegory symbolizes the "better half" within each of us that often needs luring to be revealed.
