Title: Spring Creek Aesthetic: WI-style
Review: This book, along with Mr Leeson's The Habit of Rivers, is among the best fly fishing literature of our epoch. As pointed out by another reviewer, this is not a book about "slaying lumkers" or "hot spots" and will indeed be a disappointment to some of our hook and bullet brethren. (Corinne Smith's review above, howvere, is spot-on and I wont repeat the sentiments here). Mr Leeson's subject is man "figuring himself out and his place in the world" (my words)seen through WI Spring Creeks. Leeson is highly intelligent and writes exceedingly well. I would place this work with other by Datus Proper, Frank Mele, Sparse Gray Hackle, Bill Barich, Russell Chatham - ie, the best and most refined in our sporting world. Highly recommended but will disapoint the committed meat fisherman...........
