Synopsis
In this new fly fishing book, the author travels with his pen and fly rod, starting in Argentina, then Europe, and ending in the United States. He describes the captures not only of a few trout, but the grandeur of the Andes, a massive volcano looming over a spring creek; the tranquil beauty of a summer day on an English chalkstream, all yellow flags, buttercups and limpid water; the rushing excitement of a Pyrenean mountain stream, and the mellow fruitfulness of an American fall. We meet Schwiebert, Haig-Brown and the American pioneers in Patagonia; Plunket Greene singing an aria to his beloved Bourne Rivulet; Halford and Skues crossing rods over the Test and Itchen; Sheringham, Sawyer, Goddard, Patterson and even Father Walton on the chalkstreams of England; Hemingway swashbuckling through Spain, all bullfights and rioja, and the Catskill School defining what was to become fly fishing in New York and New England. On each river and lake that Adrian visits, someone has been there before and transcribed their adventures, thoughts and feelings into print. Adrian donates all his royalties to the North Atlantic Salmon Fund and the Wild Trout Trust. Orri Vigfusson, Chairman of NASF, writes in the Foreword: '[This book] sees the author on a journey to some of the most iconic destinations on the planet in search of trout with a fly rod, but this time he’s not alone. His companions are some of the best known and greatest anglers and writers the sport has known . . . I hope that you will enjoy, as I did, experiencing some of the best trout fishing destinations described by some of the greats seen through Adrian’s eyes.' Shaun Leonard, Director of the WTT writes: 'Adrian’s writing is always a treat: breezy, humorous and evocative; I unreservedly recommend to you his latest offering: Searching for a Rise.'
