The Bad, The Good and Two Fly Fishing Women A Life-Changing Day on a River
From The Good and Two Fly Fishing
Now, as I approach the autumn of my life and some, though not all, of my dreams have come true, how do I describe myself? As a wife and a mother who loves her family, as an attorney who admires the law, and as a fly fisher who proudly says she learned from the greatest fly fisher she ever her grandmother.
And whether by accident or not, my grandmother, with the help of some unexpected and dark events, taught me something even more important than fishing, something that, even after such a long, long parade of days, I still cherish, like an antique fly rod, and wish to pass on.
The lesson happened in the middle of trout season, on the first day of summer, when several incidents came together, perhaps randomly, and formed the big event of June twenty-first. I was fourteen years old and very, very hurt and angry.
Why, you ask? ...
e-Story
When her mother deserts her to be with a new man, Amanda is hurt and betrayed. She loses faith in the world. To soothe her pain, she retreats into fly fishing, until she learns that her loving grandmother has terminal cancer.
Amanda struggles to find answers. Then one day she discovers that her grandmother, against the doctor’s orders, has gone fishing somewhere on the Junction River. Frightened, Amanda, along with Shana, her adopted dog, and Vernon, a grieving alcoholic, searches the river—but marches into an unexpected, terrifying event that, in a surprising way, helps her learn to forgive and to see the good in the world.

About the author
Randy Kadish
5 books16 followersI'm a native New Yorker. After a good deal of disappointment, I gave up writing. Then my mother passed away, and I found that fishing helped ease my grief. Almost accidentally, I wrote and sold a fishing article. Afterwards, my articles and memoirs appeared in many publications, including The Flyfisher, Flyfishing & Tying Journal and Yale Anglers' Journal.
To me, much of my writing is about how the challenges of fishing and the beauty of the outdoors helped me come to terms with loss and with a world I can't always understand. In a sense, my writing is autobiographical, as it reflects my own gratifying, but at times, difficult journey of emotional and spiritual recovery.
On the long road of my journey, I slowly learned that, even when I don't have answers, I must strive to find forgiveness and self-worth and to connect to the good in the world. (This is how I define spirituality.) I therefore love books where the main characters struggle against inner and outer conflicts and then try to do what's right.

A story of two women and how a day on the river helped them to come to grips with what life had thrown at them and in their own ways they learned how to go on and face the rest of their lives. There is a spirituality in a river that if one slows down and lets it overcome all of their daily cares, it will soothe and comfort a person. That is what the grandmother knew and was on the river alone to achieve, and her granddaughter in her search for her found that comfort and was able to overcome any doubts that had been bothering her and she learned that becoming “famous” (in the eyes of the world) was not all that it was cracked up to be. With fly fishing you must become observant and alert to what is going on around you and on the river. That is the lesson that the young girl learns. Sometimes we must pass up those holes that we want to fish to achieve our goals.
A very interesting a good read.

Article first published as Book Review:The Bad, The Good and Two Fly Fishing Women by Randy Kadish on Blogcritics.
Lessons in our youth are often the ones that dictate the path we choose. Everyone has those lessons, either good or bad, but something that shapes our life.
In The Bad, The Good and Two Fly Fishing Women by Randy Kadish, Amanda, an attorney now looks back at the formative years of her life and the special bond that helped her become the successful person she is. Having grown up with her father after her mother left and nurtured by her grandmother, Amanda has fond memories of the years gone by. She often looks back to one special day in her life when many things happened that changed her life forever.
Her Grandparents were avid fly fishermen; her Grandfather had actually died on the pond. Her Grandmother was her confidant and her best friend and Amanda spent a great deal of time with her learning the art of fly-casting. Amanda’s young life changed in an instant when her Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. She no longer spent her free time on the water fishing she stayed near her sickbed, keeping her company. When her Grandmother gave her, her fly reel and shooed her on her way to more fishing, Amanda reluctantly agreed. She took her beloved dog and spent numerous hours wrestling with the fish. It was at this time she met the fish of her dreams, the one that always got away. The beauty and delicacy of the catch, the danger of losing such a prize made Amanda make a decision, if she could only land it she would let it go. It was about the mastery, and if she were capable of this, she would be forever grateful.
One morning getting ready for school, Amanda was surprised to find her Grandmother up and dressed in her fishing gear. Concerned, Amanda wanted to skip her schooling and keep her Grandmother safe. Laughing, her Grandmother assured her she was more than capable, and as Amanda hugged her to be on her way; she felt the gun her Grandmother was carrying. When asking about it her Grandmother reminded her that a woman on her own could never be too careful. In School, Amada kept thinking back to her conversation, and a feeling that something was wrong. Unable to concentrate and worried now, she leaves her school and tries to find her Grandmother.
It is a day of danger and even stranger happenings. She runs into an old man, down on his luck and a friend of his grandmother, and when Amanda see’s he has her Grandmother’s fishing creel she understands her feeling of dread, why would her Grandmother give away something so dear. Shock and dismay become the tone of the day, and the old man too learns a lesson from Amanda, as he becomes her protector through this dangerous and gruesome day. Can she find her Grandmother before the unimaginable happens? Can a young girl survive the real dangers that lurk in the woods?
Kadish has carved a wonderful story full of antics that any true angler would love. His characters are fun and bold, mercurial and fast somewhat like the fish themselves. Amanda is a brave young girl, searching for a hold in a world that has crumbled. Abandoned by her mother, the only other female figure in her life is her Grandmother. When she is diagnosed with cancer, Amanda’s life further erodes. The fishing soothes her feeling; the continual casting of the fly-fishing that keeps her mind from the worrisome illness of her beloved Grandmother.
Her Grandmother is a wonderful character. She is someone we would all like to know, and she too is knowledgeable about fishing. It is the tie that binds their family. This is a wonder character driven book that just happens to be about fishing. This is a short story, full of bravado and a bit of cunning.
If you love fishing and especially fly fishing, you will enjoy this wholesome family story. It takes you back to a time before innocence is changed and the times where a child is still unafraid to speak their mind.

Told in the first person, this long short story jumps straight into the tale with the pleasing voice of a mother looking back on life. Childhood troubles are bluntly, honestly depicted—break-up of parents' marriage, death of a beloved grandparent, a teenager’s feelings that “froze into opposite halves.”
Amanda finds solace in fishing and the love of a dog, but soon her grandmother becomes sick and her fragile security is threatened again. The grandmother speaks wise words of choices and regret, and Amanda heads for the river. The author paints beautifully evocative scenes of water shimmering while birds sing and trout bite. Though I’ve never fished, I feel the pull of the words, the call of the wild. “Stay calm.” I listen and the battle continues, trout against girl, line pulled, rod pulsing, dream fulfilled.
“Rivers are like poems,” the grandmother says, and this story reads like a poem to the river’s beauty and the power of relationships to light up shadows in people’s lives. Amanda’s walking companion has shadows of his own, but his “simple” answers hide deep mysteries like those beneath the surface of fishing pools. And maybe truths sometimes hide “like trout in a stream.”
The Bad, the Good and Two Fly-fishing Women is a sweet lunch-time read, filled with the scents and sounds of the riverbank, the honesty of youth, the wisdom of ages, and the promise of redemption. To share with a child, to ease the pain of loss or the confusion of betrayal, or just to enjoy the peace engendered in a change of time and pace, it’s a long short story well worth reading and remembering.

Randy had emailed me to ask if I would review this story for him, normally, I enjoy paranormal YA, but I decided “sure” . The story was a short read, although, longer than a short story.
The story is told in the first person by Amanda, the main character. She is remembering back to her childhood when her mother had left and her grandmother had stayed with them. The story was mainly about one day in particuliar, June 21st. Amanda’s mother was an addict and her parents use to fight all the time. Her mother eventually left without telling where she was going or how to contact her. Amanda had blamed herself thinking that she had done something wrong. Her grandfather had passed away and her grandmother decided to move in and help take care of her. Amanda’s family are really into fly fishing and have passed the love for it down to her. Her grandmother teaches her everything she knows. Eventually Amanda’s grandmother falls ill with cancer. The rest of the story focuses on one day that Amanda had probably learned more about life in than any other day. It shows her feelings and tells of different characters that she interacts with on this day.
This was a lovely read. It focused on the love of family and how the love of a shared activity can bring a family together and help their memory to live on. Thank you to Randy for sharing this story with me!

I accepted this ebook from the author, who contacted me through email. It sounded like a great book about the bond between a teenaged girl and her grandmother. For all I know, that’s what it turned into. Unfortunately, I didn’t get far enough in to find out.
Although the story sounds great, I was a little caught up with all the fly fishing and technical talk that went along with that. I read about Amanda and how she got her dog, how her grandmother was in the hospital. But I suppose I just wasn’t able to get pulled far enough into the story because the fly fishing kept getting in the way and, to be honest, kind of bored me. I’m in no way any kind of fisher, and I think that’s what really turned me off of this book. Eventually I decided I was bored and that there were other books I’d rather be reading.
I feel a little disappointed that the fly fishing got in the way of the story for me. I feel like it would still be a great story about Amanda and her grandmother, and a real journey of learning for Amanda. I’d still recommend this if you were planning on reading it. Give it a try for yourself. Maybe you won’t get caught in the fly fishing (no pun intended). I just happened to be.

I enjoyed this story. It jumps right into the action and doesn’t belabor on unneeded back story. I liked the characters, the emotional aspect isn’t overdone, and the descriptions are vivid.
Amanda has issues (many) to work through, but as a young girl, that isn’t unusual. This story shows the inner turmoil she feels as well as she deals with abandonment, loss, fear, and forgiveness.
I especially enjoyed her straw hat wearing, whiskey drinking friend, Vernon. LOL The author did a fabulous job of character development in such a short story. Vernon, in my opinion, was the star of the show.
I don’t feel you have to be a fly-fisherman to get into this story. There are fly-fishing terms throughout, but they don’t hinder the flow—and taught me a thing a two.

It's actually three and a half stars, but there's no rating up there for that so...
This is a really well done novelette describing life through an angry fourteen-year-old’s eyes. I enjoyed it immensely, especially the superb imagery and description Kadish provides in regards to fly-fishing. I never was much of a fisher, but I enjoyed it as a little girl. The thrill of catching a fish still weighs heavy in my mind, and through Kadish’s prose I was easily able to envision Amanda as she trekked along the river, dredging up my memories of carefree summers and the palpable heat. Although I’ve never been in Amanda’s shoes, I believe Kadish does a superb job capturing her thoughts, feelings, and overall struggle as she attempts to cope with her mother’s betrayal and her grandmother’s sickness...

The story was fast to read, this isn't a long book more of a story. I cried a bit and I was frightened for the character and the things and people she encountered. The love between the characters was sweet and endearing. I could feel the main characters loss for her mother and her anger at her also. Loss of some one we love is difficult and if it is from choice it is sometimes much worse.
Some of the language was a bit over the top with descriptions of places and water. I could see the water and the fishing, but I would have seen it with half of the descriptors.
Relationships are the one thing we will take with us when we die and this book brings out many relationships and the trouble and the joy associated with those.
Short and sweet, I think anyone would enjoy this story. Especially if you fly fish.

As a character study of Amanda, the narrator of the story, and her grandmother, "The Bad, The Good, and Two Fly Fishing Women" is a pleasant enough read. The story captures the special relationship a grandparent and grandchild often have. But this isn’t enough to carry a story.
The apparent goal is for Amanda to reach some kind of closure, understanding or at least forgiving her mother after she leaves he and her father for another man. The description says Amanda’s experiences teach her to forgive her mother, and the story ends with her doing that. However, I’m still not certain how Amanda went from point A to point B. Whether I’m too dense to put the pieces together or the points are too subtle, I’m not sure.

This is the second story I have read by Randy Kadish; as a writer and a fisherman I must say that I really enjoy the way he tells a story. He paints a vivid picture that puts you “in the moment” emotionally and otherwise. I love the way he describes the relationship between the young woman and her grandmother; it also makes me very jealous (I wish I had such a role model in my life) Isn’t it amazing how the many things we can learn fishing can help us in our real lives? This is a wonderful coming of age story.

This coming of age long short story is a easy read that deals with
issues that alot of people have to deal with but never admit to.
Amanda's perants split, her grandfather dies, Amanda's feelings are frozen in time.
When her grandmother/best friend/confidant becomes ill.
Randy's style of writing is the type you can become the character and realize what she is thinking
and feeling. The Characters are strong and i enjoyed knowing them
Weather you like fishing or not this piece is about more then that. Its about about reflecting on
the past realizing your mistakes and your not so mistakes.

The author has a way of creating characters that seem to pop off the page. Even though this was a very quick read, I really felt that I knew Amanda as a friend.
However, I felt that this story could have been fleshed out a little better. I am sure that the author could have gone into a little more detail on the events that transpired. I don’t want to go into too much detail. As I said, it is a very short read and just mentioning too much can give the whole story away.

This book by Randy Kadish seems to be his nitche, by that I mean the story develops around fly fishing and its enjoyment and what it has to say about life. The characters are good and you know them and enjoy them. The plot is interesting and keeps you reading. It is short, but what else could you want?

I got this book from the author in exchange for leaving a review.
While I think this book had some great life lessons it was a little rough to read with a few editing mistakes through out it.
I think this story and the author have some potential and I hope that he keeps on writing and improving.

a good read, did talk about God, though the girl never really accepted him but she did accept her mother back in the end. Was a nice story about a grandmother and her daughter teaching her fly fishing.
