Zipping My Fly: Moments in the Life of an American Sportsman

Imagine A River Runs Through It seen through the eyes of Dave Barry and you’ll get an idea of Rich Tosches’ sharp-eyed reflections on the art, hobby, and obsession of fly fishing.

This encounter-and many others during a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of fly fishing -are captured in a side-splitting collection of observations on every angle-and angler-of one of America’s favorite pastimes.
