Description
Part autobiography, part seasonal journal, and part fishing log, "One River More" follows a typical year of fishing in Vermont and Montana. Whether writing of his home waters in northern New England or the classic trout rivers of the West, Wetherell honors those traditional values of his sport -- the intimacy, the quiet, the solitude -- that have been threatened by the tremendous surge in fly fishing's popularity over the past decade. At the same time, his speculations push the limits of conventional fly-fishing prose, so that what starts out as an exploration of fishing often turns out to be an exploration of much more, from the love that binds a family together to the discipline and craft of a novelist's art. Coming after two memorable books on fly fishing, "One River More" forms the final in Wetherell's trilogy on rivers and streams, and yet stands alone as a testament to what one fly fisher still finds in the rivers he so passionately loves.
