Product Description
From Amazon
Distant Waters is a big, beautiful, full-color tour of the world's greatest places to cast a fly, narrated by some of fly-fishing's best writers, including Nick Lyons, Thomas McGuane, and Russell Chatham. Wade the saltwater flats of Christmas Island for bonefish, stalk huge rainbows in the gin-clear rivers of New Zealand, or fish for salmon next to grizzlies in Alaska. With illustrated maps to match the glorious photos of locations and wild fish, this is a fly-fishing trip to relive again and again.
Book Description
A celebration in words and photos of the idyllic--and occasionally heart-pounding--world of fly-fishing. Here one of the sport's most prestigious and talented photographers captures participants and their quarry in a variety of superb natural environments, from the Alaskan wilderness to the sparkling Caribbean. 162 full-color photos. 12 full-color maps.

Fly Fishing Pornography,
By Brian Allred (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Distant Waters: The Greatest Fly-fishing Worldwide (Hardcover)
This is a book that you will want to keep from yur significant other. It opens up the door to dreams of destinations and fish to come. The colors are too vibrant, the stories (all by very fine authors) ring too true. After reading this your next stop will be either the travel agent or the tackle shop to be followed in rapid succession by a trip to the stop that you didn't visit first.

If you like spectacular photography AND fly fishing .......,
By NPK (anselmo@powerup.com.au) (Brisbane, OZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Distant Waters: The Greatest Fly-fishing Worldwide (Hardcover)
One for any coffee table. Fog bound English trout streams to glaringly bright Christmas Island bonefish flats to wide Rocky Mountain Streams to expansive New Zealand rivers. Perhaps a little over emphised on North American fly pursuits and salmo-trutto centred, but worth reading never the less. If you fly fish and travel, Beware!! The feet will itch and the bank manager will not be your best friend after this.

absolute must read for the passionate flyfisher,
By A Customer
This review is from: Distant Waters: The Greatest Fly-fishing Worldwide (Hardcover)
Singularly the best book published in this past decade on the art of flyfishing, nature loving, and photography. It will inspire you to pick up your rod, the phone, and make plans for your next adventure into the idyllic spots that only flyfishing can take you!
