Produktbeschreibung
Philosophy and natural history mingle in this remarkable and evocative collection of essays from an avid angler. Leeson, contributing editor to Fly Rod & Reel magazine touches on a variety of subjects: death, art, sex, fly-tying and other mysteries.
Originally published in 1994, this book was a fly-fishing phenomenon in the way Howell Raines's Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis was. Taking his fishing hobby to near metaphysical levels, Ted Leeson tells about his passions: rivers, trout, and fly fishing. With wry humor and rare insight, he explores questions that engage most fishermen: What is it about rivers that draws us so irresistibly, and why does fly fishing seem such an aptly suited response? Above all, The Habit of Rivers is about ways of seeing the wonderfully textured world that emanates from a river.
