Calling After Water
Dispatches from a Fishing Life

by Dave Karczynski

Foreword by Tom Bie

Dave Karczynski fishesand writeswith both eyes wide open to the magic of water. With the trademark blend of adventure, humor, and insight that has made him one fly fishings most widely published authors, this collection of nineteen essays charts Daves journey as he casts his way from the quiet streams of the Upper Midwest to the far corners of the earthand back again. Readers will tramp across Patagonia with a shamanic brook trout whisperer, raft through the Himalayas in search of golden mahseer, hunt native brown trout in the Bohemian highlands, and revel in the promise of a Northern Michigan spinner fall. With prose that alternately flashes like the sides of a leaping salmon and glitters like riffle water on a summer morning, Calling After Wateris one of those rare books that delights its readers as much as it invites them to reflect on their own love of fly fishing.
