With writing that Nick Lyons has described as "quietly but fiercely independent, free from the commercialism that cloaks the fly-fishing world like a fungus" author Jerry Kustich tackles a range of subjects in his latest book, from fly-fishing contests and world records to the difficult subject of the death of loved ones. But whether writing about epic catches of memorable fish, pristine wilderness rivers, or the Booboys' controversial departure from R. L. Winston Rod Company, for Kustich the story of loss is linked to the story of hope, and both are reflected in the water we fish. AUTHOR: Jerry Kustich is author of 'At the River's Edge: Lessons Learned in a Life of Fly Fishing', 'A Wisp in the Wind: In Search of Bull Trout', 'Bamboo, and Beyond', and coauthor of 'Fly Fishing for Great Lakes Steelhead', all published by West River Publishing. His articles and essays have appeared in many publications. REVIEWS: "Jerry Kustich is one of the most readable and engaging writers I know. He's an expert at virtually any subject he touches, but he's never ponderous. Instead he's a consummate storyteller and humorist who happens to care deeply about fishing." --Marshall Cutchin, Publisher, Midcurrent and Skiff Republic
