Bamboo Fly Rod Suite: Reflections on Fishing And the Geography of Grace by Frank Soos and Kesler Woodward

"A vivid account. . . . Lays open in the hand as neatly as an elegant English fly box and would handily fit in the outside pocket of a fishing vest." --Chelsea

"This book would appeal to philosophical fly fishermen, but to a wider audience as well--particularly individuals who relish the idea of a reflective life." --Baton Rouge Advocate

"Where does [this] book belong? Carried in a fishing creel for streamside reading. On a night stand or a coffee table. Anywhere within easy reach of anglers and nonanglers caught up in the currents of a fast culture and looking for lovely, reflective moments of grace." --Eugene Register-Guard

"Bamboo Fly Rod Suite is interesting and engaging. The linkages among the pieces, the thematic echoes from one essay to another, and the concentric meditations that grow outward from the central fact of the bamboo fly rod are thoughtfully imagined and deftly executed."--Ted Leeson, author of The Habitat of Rivers

"A beautiful volume—with strong, original essays."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"A vivid account . . . Lays open in the hand as neatly as an elegant English fly box and would handily fit in the outside pocket of a fishing vest."--Chelsea
