Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of prose by a Pennsylvania poet and fly-fisher. An urban angler revels a surprising fact: god fishing--and adventure -- can be found a bike ride away within the city limits of America's first capital. Trout and bass, white perch and channel catfish, birds and a variety of human characters are all encountered along the Schuylkill River and its tiny tributary, Wissahickon Creek, which are bordered by Fairmount Park, the world's largest urban greenbelt. A tale told in poetic prose, this is a practical, lyrical, all-American fish story.
