The Catch of a Lifetime by Peter Kaminsky
Reading followed by Q&A in the Wulff Gallery at 2pm on Saturday, August 3rd. Copies of the book for sale!
Trout Unlimited called it “...a book for the ages.” New York Times Outdoors columnist Peter Kaminsky asked anglers to write up the single experience that leaps to mind when they hear the word “flyfishing.” Over 70 contributors include Carl Hiaasen, John McPhee, Joan Wulff, Monte Burke, Hilary Hutcheson, Thomas McGuane, and Rachel Maddow. Profusely illustrated with flyfishing’s greatest photographers and artists.
