Drawn from 55 years of excessive obsession with trout, water, streams and flies, this collection of essays from Canada’s most widely read fly-fishing author since Roderick Haig-Brown reveals the depth of engagement that this sport engenders. His poised and polished words reveal the flaws and virtues of humanity, the strength of Mother Nature, the beautiful mystery that is a wild trout, and the obsessed’s inexplicable need to outsmart a creature with a brain the size of a pea.

Fly fishing is considered to be perhaps the most reflective and graceful of outdoor pursuits, and author Jim McLennan agrees - for the most part. In Trout Tracks are pieces on fly-fishing people and fly-fishing places, stories of quiet successes and louder failures, in sum revealing the soul of “the quiet sport.”

You won’t learn to cast farther or tie a knot faster, but if you’ve fly fished, or if you want to, you’ll smile and understand more clearly the seduction of wild trout in wild places.

Trout Tracks books are available.
