That passion is shared and made legible here, not just for other anglers, but for those who have never yet cast a line in the water. Why is it that catching �fish--or even thinking about catching fish--can be so thrilling, so captivating? Why is it that time spent beside water can be imprinted so sharply in the memory? Why is it that what seems a simple act of casting a line and hoping can feel so rich in mystery? Alternating between regional and thematic chapters, Tallack considers 'wildness', its pursuit, and its meanings; the compulsive appeal of tying flies; the ethics of catching and killing; the allure of big �fish; and beauty--where it's sought and where it's found. He describes �fly fishing trips to America, Canada, Shetland, and England. Throughout the book, certain themes recur--environmental harm and healing; the relationship between fishing and time; hope and its manifestations; and the ways in which angling can deepen engagement with the natural world.
