The allure of the road trip is all of the things that you experience on the way to your destination. The best experiences often come off the beaten path,  slightly beyond the main attractions that command most people’s attention. Fly fishers should understand this concept as good as anyone.

In Storied Waters, David Van Wie journeys from his New England home across the Mid Atlantic and into the upper Midwest. All the while, he stops and fishes. Some rivers are the most popular names in American fly fishing. Others are less well known. The commonality of his waypoints is that each has ties to a significant contribution to fly fishing literature or art.

The result is a fun, informative, and engaging read. It is a book that truly celebrates the multifaceted nature of our wonderful fly fishing culture. Any angler who appreciates history, writing, or adventure ought to add it to his library.
