In Flywater, the magic and majesty of the Western North American fly fishing experience is captured with consummate skill through the photography of Grant McClintock and with rare insight through the writing of Mike Crockett. With the help of their friend Jack Hemingway, who wrote the book's introduction, these anglers set out on a year's sojourn through the West visiting some of the nation's most renowned trout and steelhead rivers. They came away from their travels with the photographs, tales, and memories which became the book Flywater.Though the pictures and words are personal reflections, Flywater offers the universal qualities of beauty, reverence, and humor which elevate fly fishing from sport to art.The captions alone would make a book. Coupled with McClintock's rich photo images, they create a compelling journey that the reader, whether fisherman or non-fisherman, will thoroughly enjoy.Flywater is a gallery of moments, places, people, ideas. For the serious fly fisherman, it is an album of shared experiences. For the uninitiated, it is an artfully crafted guidebook to an exotic new world that really does exist on the streams and rivers of the West. (111/4 X 91/2, 148 pages, color photos)
