The Meditative Fisherman: Lifetime Reflections on Fly Fishing

Immerse yourself in the waters of the world according to Bryan Archer, the contemplative fisherman, autodidact and philosopher. This serene memoir is a love letter to the rivers he has fished and the people he has fished them with, the flies he has used and the people who came before him. Visit the moments of adrenaline and peace that the meditative fisherman has experienced in over sixty years on the water.

Written with great affection and skill, this book spans the globe and some of its most spectacular fishing venues, from the UK, across America, to the extraordinary country New Zealand. Bryan explores the history of these places, the fish and their flies, as well as his own emotional connection to the sport he loves, all via the great thinkers, writers and friends that have accompanied him. Take a moment, take a seat, and join the meditative fisherman in a journey of a lifetime, that spans a lifetime, and will make you want to follow in his footsteps.
