I read Downstream a few years after it came out. First, I was impressed by the book. Second, I was surprised that it hadn’t make a bigger splash than it did in fly fishing circles. You may be asking why? to both of those statements. Conveniently, the answers are the same.

David O’hara and Matthew Dickerson are great writers. They don’t deviate too much from the typical angling reflection and memoir mold that many anglers utilize, but they do it very well. Their writing is approachable from both content and presentation perspectives. New anglers will glean a lot from Downstream, and those who have read dozens of books on the subject will enjoy it just as much.
