In these 19 lyrical stories, Don Thomas takes you to many places: Christmas Island in search of bonefish; an Alaskan river where boating a huge rainbow becomes momentarily more important than avoiding a mid-stream collision with a nine-foot grizzly; a far northern pond and an encounter with the Ultimate Northern Pike; Belize and the quixotic quest to take a permit on a fly, marred only slightly by a failed marriage and a Blue Crab Special stuck firmly in a philosophical guide's ear; Yellowstone's Lewis Lake for a young daughter's first brown trout on a fly; and Siberia, where Dolly Varden, Kundzha, and vodka combine to thaw the cold war. From each story, we learn a little about fishing and a lot about life.
