At one time I owned more than 25 books on fly-fishing for trout. Generally, all were confined to a rigid, traditional form and were highly technical or philosophical. Hardly appropriate tools for one of life’s more important matters — passing an understanding and appreciation of trout fishing on to others, namely my children, This book’s contemporary, simple style, cartoon drawings and broad overview make it useful for fostering this initial awareness.
The Curtis Creek Manifesto projects the need of major personal commitment to master the complex concept of new awareness that trout fishing offers. On the one hand the sadness of knowing how fragile and in need of defense trout waters are and on the other — personal level — it offers a chance to immerse one’s self and become for at least a little while, closer to nature. To know that the human being, like the trout, is affected by weather, food supply and habitat.
Fly fishing, by the way, need not be a matter of killing fish. It’s one of the few pursuits where the skilled fly fisherman can catch and release alive the now wiser quarry. This book is an excellent source for general inquiry on the subject.
