Title: Fly fishing through a self-induced sense of knowledge.
Review: The book's central goal is admirable, but is marred by the author's inability to recognize that he does not have all the answers. As a result, one is left with the clear view that Raines is a self-righteous windbag. For example, he proclaims the northern outpost of the redneck way of fishing ends in Maryland. Guess this not-it-all has not been to northern PA. or parts of the Midwest. In spite of this, the fishing stories are entertaining. Their impact is muted, however, for all but the rich, liberal fly fisher because of the author's politics being injected in the book. This makes the book more useful for the feel-good liberal, rather than the sincere fly-fisherman. Judge you tolerance for this, and get it if you are one of these types.
