[Allan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lamb is not a widely known name in the field of nature or sports writing. A handful of books such as this one comprise his literary output, and they have not been released as reprints. This is a shame, because Dana Storrs Lamb, whose "real" career was that of a stockbroker, has written some of the most fluent and effective pieces to be found on fishing and the outside world one experiences in time spent along rivers.

These aren't anecdotes like those once found in Field & Stream or Sports Afield. Think more along the lines of Hemingway's Nick Adams stories, or something by Robert Ruark. The writing is shot through with something elegiac, where the beauty is real but ephemeral, like the seasons. But like memories of your own days and seasons by the water, these stories will stay with you.

Incredible prose themed around fishing. This is probably the least rare of Dana Lamb's books regarding fishing, and I would highly recommend picking up this book.
