These thirty stories take readers from leaping makos near the fairways of Torrey Pines to midnight Atlantic salmon fishing on the fabled Ponoi to encounters with very friendly mujeres on the streets of Havana . . . and even offer an unauthorized (yet unequivocal) account of Bob Dylan’s 1970s obsession with fishing. Santella’s peripatetic lifestyle and eye for entertaining details--even those that have little to do with the act of throwing flies at fish--will make you look at fishing in a whole different way.

Recensione:
Some fly-fishing books are not meant to be technical but rather to entertain and delight. Santella's well-written short stories are about our passion: its anglers and fascinating essays. You will enjoy this one! --Lefty Kreh, fly fishing legend and author of numerous books, including Casting with Lefty Kreh, Fly-Casting Fundamentals, and 101 Fish
The list of how-to fly-fishing books is at least a mile long, but there are scant few that delve into the "why" with such clarity and credibility as this one. Nobody else wades as far out of the main channel, but brings it home with such resonance, like Santella can. --Kirk Deeter, Editor-in-Chief, TROUT Media
Tug is honest, fair and self-effacing, and it does what great angling writing should--it inspires us to get on the water more often to fish. If you don't want to fish the world with a fly rod in hand after reading it, you better check for a pulse. --Greg Thomas, Editor, Fly Rod & Reel
