Originally published in 1994, this book was a fly-fishing phenomenon in
the way Howell Raines' Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis was.
Taking his fishing hobby to near metaphysical levels, Ted Leeson tells
about his passions: rivers, trout, and fly fishing. With wry humor and
rare insight, he explores questions that engage most fishermen: What is
it about rivers that draws us so irresistibly, and why does fly fishing
seem such an aptly suited response? Above all, The Habit of Rivers is
about ways of seeing the wonderfully textured world that emanates from a
river.
