Fly Leaves and Waterside Sketches [first edition]

This extensive collection of writings from Gordon Mackie leads us into a world of fly-fishing adventure, mystery, and debate. We explore a wide range of waters, with trout and grayling the principle quarry, while the author is forever seeking to identify the less tangible secrets of successful fly-fishing and discover some of the joys of the natural world that trout sport embraces. The work is largely anecdotal in nature, laced with humor, pithy comments, and delightfully surreal happenings.
