Fish Rap: FISHING AND HUNTING STORIES

Filled with stories of men better at navigating the challenges of rivers and ridgelines than marriages and careers, Micus has managed to capture that strange, atavistic drive that motivates we sportsmen to sacrifice so much for a few moments of charged bliss. Micus knows the land and the water and the game from a vantage that any fellow outdoorsmen will instantly recognize. Mick Faherty, writer and producer, "Fly Fishing America", "Fly Fishing the World", and "Elk Country Journal" These stories are marvelous; witty, sharp, worldly, and beautifully written. With the grace of McGuane and the wit of Gierach, Micus steeps us in the natural world we love. You'll instantly identify with his compelling characters and their outdoor dilemmas, wishing on every page that you could be out in the wild with them. Alyson Hagy, author of seven books including "Scribe," an NPR Best Books of 2018, a BBC selection for one of the ten best books of 2018, and a finalist for the Southern Book Prize. I really enjoyed this book. Micus often refers reverentially to other fly-fishing books or writers. But here he has produced some reverence-worthy work of his own.
