The Snowfly is a spellbinding novel of suspense, international
intrigue, and fly fishing. The holy grail that burns at its core is
the snowfly, a legendary insect - enormous, white, and exceedingly
rare - that attracts trout of such size that they couldn't possibly
exist in the world as we know it. But in The Snowfly, such things
can and do exist.Bowie Rhodes is a UPI reporter and a fly fisherman
of extraordinary talent. He learns of the myth of the snowfly early
in his childhood. Legend has it that the giant snowfly hatches
every seven to ten years, never on the same river twice. It brings
to rise only trout that strain the imagination: trout that are so
huge they would have to have lived forty years or more, trout so
wily that they never allow themselves to be caught, or even seen,
trout so hungry for this fly that they will risk exposure to rise
for the hatch. The snowfly is the sacred quest of only the most
obsessed trout hunters, and has been seen by no living man or
woman, existing only in myth and in a lost manuscript. Rhodes's
reporting brings him to the extremes of humanity - in the jungles
of Vietnam, in the labyrinth of Brezhnev's Soviet Union, in a
poisoned Canadian wasteland of uranium mines. His hunt for the
manuscript takes him deep into his own heart of darkness.The
Snowfly is a richly imaginative and sensual novel. The world
Heywood creates is broader, more wild, with more mystery lurking
beneath the surface waters than our own. Or is it? The Snowfly
makes it all seem gloriously possible.
