Tirana, Turhan: Fly Fishing: A Life in Mid-Stream Recollections and Essays; 1575660318 / 9781575660318, New Book
1996 Kensington Publishing Corp; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
As New Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Slight wear to jacket edges, else a new book! *** (Synopsis) For thousands of years, the art of sport fishing has fascinated and engaged humankind. To Turhan Tirana, the noblest form of the sport is fly-fishing, a pursuit that at its best can bring one close to the meaning of life itself. In FLY FISHING: A Life in Mid-Stream, he weaves memories and anecdotes to reflect upon his remarkable life as a fly-fisherman. As a boy he caught his first trout in the upper reaches of Virginia's Rapidan River. His love of the sport has taken him from Montana's Yellowstone River to such far-away places as Macedonia and Slovenia.With wit and humor, the veteran fisherman shares his most memorable catches, in which intuition often overcame lack of experience. He describes the trials and rewards of fishing with a spouse and the pleasure of introducing his children to the sport. With unflagging enthusiasm, he chronicles the history of fly-fishing, including some of its most unforgettable practitioners, among them: Dame Juliana Berners, the 15th-century prioress who wrote the classic treatise on fly-fishing; Theodore Gordon, known as the father of American fly-fishing; and President Herbert Hoover, who said that All men are equal before fishes., AB00277.
