If you can read this and not immediately start planning a trip Henry's Fork, you must not like fly fishing very much

I loved this book. I'm a novice, and it was sometimes over my head, but I learned so much. Lawson is a great teacher, a great story teller. He loves the Henry's Fork, and now I do too.
