A collection of anecdotes on fly fishing and ways of cooking the catch from a woman angler with countless kilometres under her wading boots. Drawn from a lifetime of passion for fly fishing, these stories, written to entertain the reader, focus on a year of angling adventures in one of the world's premier trout fishing destinations – New Zealand. In these varied and engaging adventures are woven philosophical observations, ethical concerns, the quest for solitude, and encounters with remarkable and memorable characters who have fished alongside her over time.
