Beyond his life as an English professor, book publisher, and writer, Nick Lyons has always had a "secret fishing life, " a deep and abiding passion for fishing, especially with a fly. My Secret Fishing Life is Lyons's effort to bring together the diverse threads of his life - the joys of a fly fisher's spring, the pleasure of fishing an old farm pond, reflections on first and last days of the season, a unique record of his life as an editor and publisher of books about angling, the process of aging, threats to fishing waters, various ways to fish, and much else, always tempered by Lyons's hallmark self-deprecating humor.
