Upland Stream, Notes on the Fishing Passion
by W. D. Wetherell
Category: Sports & Recreation

In the second book of his trilogy on his passion for fishing, Wetherell explores the meandering streams of his beloved New England, the ashen rivers of Yellowstone Park during the great fire of 1988, and the pristine lochs of Scotland. With humor, introspection, and wonder, Wetherell chronicles his quest for fresh streams and a deeper solace of the spirit.Through spontaneous journal entries, contemplative excursions, and outright fish stories, Wetherell conveys the hundreds of moments that are emblems of a life lived close to the natural world and its mysteries. One fishes, he observes, not to catch but to be caught. It's the fisher - and the reader - who succumb to the lure. (51/2 X 81/4, 208 pages)
