Stream Feathers: Fly Fishing with a Naturalist Wally Rentsch

If you have ever fly-fished or wished you had, "Stream Feathers" is a must read book to experience the mystique of fly-fishing in the wild Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. Something quite unexpected happens to those who fish downstream for two miles in the company of the naturalist, Hoxie. There are adventures and unexpected encounters with wildlife around each bend. All combined with the thrill of fighting a pugnacious trout. In a sequence of 16 episodes, each farther down stream from the other, we follow Hoxie in his valiant quest to catch a trout larger than his dads 24 inch Brown Trout. In the end - through deep truths found - beating his dad's trout becomes inconsequential. Photographs and Haiku reveal Hoxie's adventures and chance discoveries in each chapter.
