".the Bow River has for decades been luring fly-rodders to its banks as surely as trout rise to a fly. In this history of the river and its anglers, acclaimed outdoor writer Jim McLennan traces the ancient, glacial origins of the river and follows it to the modern day, where the chance combination of natural and man-made elements has transformed the Bow into one of the world's finest trout fisheries. From there he examines the impact of human activity on the river and offers guidance on how to preserve the only premier trout stream in North America to flow through a major city."
