Summary

Negley Farson's career took him from the US to the UK and to Europe, and this book follows his movements in a series of cameos each of which is keenly depicted by a master of the English language. A bit of a travelogue, and is full of nostalgic images of how things were in the 20th century's first half.

From surf casting on the Jersey coast as a boy to fishing experiences in four continents, -- flyfishing the headwaters of the Kuban in the upper Caucasus, casting for Rainbow trout in South Chile, fishing for striped bass, for small mouth and large mouth bass, fishing for necessary food in British Columbia, in Vancouver, salmon fishing in Scotland and in the Shetlands, fishing with the Serbs on the Danube, stream fishing in the West Coast country of England, joining forces with village fishing clubs in rural France, adventures in Norway, in Yugoslavia, in Ireland -- a far flung sport, with every opportunity of a varied background made the most of.
