From the acclaimed author of Fragrance of Grass comes a meditation
on water and nature, fishing and growing older. On the Water is a
gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or
near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated
with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of
tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles
and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of
the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and
boats, of worms and rattlesnakes and even of catching and cooking
soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco. There is fishing and
diving in the Bahamas, tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, and fly
fishing for sailfish in Central America. And there are
larger-than-life personalities that are bigger than the fish tales
they tell! On the Water is a finely honed and well crafted
collection of tales for the true sportsman and makes for a perfect
companion volume to la Valdene's celebrated collection of essays on
hunting.
