No one would fault you for assuming that Fly-Fishing with Leonardo Da Vinci is a historical work of fiction. Because what else could it be?

In reality, David Ladensohn combined two of his passions into a surprisingly engaging read. “It was an obvious connection once I saw his drawings, because as an engineer he was thinking about how something moves within a current,” Ladensohn told me. “And while there are over 500 books on Leonardo, none is from the perspective of a fly fisher!”

There are a handful of great takeaways for anglers in the book, but considering how to observe nature like a Renaissance-era polymath is the most significant.
