"Starting in Argentina, then Europe, and ending in the United States, the author describes the captures not only of a few trout, but the grandeur of the Andes, a massive volcano looming over a spring creek; the tranquil beauty of a summer day on an English chalkstream, all yellow flags, buttercups and limpid water; the rushing excitement of a Pyrenean mountain stream, and the mellow fruitfulness of an American fall. We meet Schwiebert, Haig-Brown and the American pioneers in Patagonia; Plunket Greene singing an aria to his beloved Bourne Rivulet; Halford and Skues crossing rods over the Test and Itchen; Sheringham, Sawyer, Goddard, Patterson and even Father Walton on the chalkstreams of England; Hemingway swashbuckling through Spain, all bullfights and rioja, and the Catskill School defining what was to become fly fishing in New York and New England." .
