From the acclaimed author ofFragrance of Grasscomes a meditation on water and nature, fishing and growing older.On the Wateris a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco. There is fishing and diving in the Bahamas, tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, and fly fishing for sailfish in Central America. And there are larger-than-life personalities that are bigger than the fish tales they tell!On the Wateris a finely honed and well crafted collection of tales for the true sportsman and makes for a perfect companion volume to la Valdenes celebrated collection of essays on hunting.
