Native to This Stream: Brief Writings About Fly-Fishing & the Great Outdoors is a chapbook collection of short stories, essays, and poems that lifts you from your chair and puts you on the stream ready to drop a fly three feet upstream of a rising trout. Native to This Stream takes the reader from the storied waters of Pennsylvania's Letort Spring Run to the wonders of Yellowstone National Park and beyond, revealing one angler's love of the outdoor America we embrace and why we embrace it. So whether contemplating a classic American painting about the Catskills or pondering the peril of putting a hook through one's leg in the mountains of western North Carolina, Native to This Stream will have you yearning for the brook in no time.
