Summary, Etc. "The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea--essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill--take the reader from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida's Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between. The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist Carl Hiaasen as "funny, wistful, and wonderful," the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the "why" of the sport of fly fishing, and not the "how.""-- Provided by publisher.
