These poems are meant, quite simply, to be a joy to read. Imaginative and often thought-provoking, the author enjoys writing poetry that rhymes or "sings" with a gentle cadence, and speaks to us about his "spirit-love" for fly-fishing steelhead rivers and trout streams, their adjacent canyons and woodlands and all the happy critters who live there. This enlightening and inspirational little book will bring a smile to every fly-fisher you know and make a wonderful addition to his or her fishing library. Illustrated with the author's drawings, this artful collection is both literary and fun to read; an unusual gift that will be treasured by your favorite fly-fisher.
