The Wanderings of a Mountain Fly Fisher: Tales from a Catskill Eddy and Other Trout Waters

This little volume recollects true accounts from a fly-fisher's angling log centered about a half-century of the pursuit of trout, sometimes more than one-hundred-fifty fishing outings a season. Settings include New York's Catskill Mountains, Garden State wild trout waters, and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Shenandoah National Park. And time of year was not always a factor. Visit these streams through the author's eyes.

But, much more important than the author's outings are several chapters within this paperback that document the life and times of Edmund William Sens, perhaps a little known but significant twentieth century Catskill flyfisher and salt-water angler, to whom this book is dedicated. Additionally, readers will wander environs they might not have known existed; some pristine wild trout waters, some now not what they once were. And you will be exposed to a few trout flies that have captured the fancy of this author, plus a few fish that agreed with his choice of offering.
