Disappointing. I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review. One-third of this short book is a first person account of a man flyfishing some streams in Montana, thinking about his life and family and friends and the positive role of fishing in his world; two-thirds of the book is very short descriptions of the 100+ popular songs from the 1950s-2000s that he has tied into the fishing day by using words from the titles of the songs in telling the story. Unfortunately: (1) many, probably most, of the song names are forced into the writing of the fishing story, and not well; (2) there are numerous typographical/printing/editing errors throughout the book; (3) many of the references in the song descriptions are repetitive; and (4) the fishing story, which has some good references to the joys and challenges of flyfishing, is badly broken up by the forced song references. Sorry I can't recommend this one to my friends who enjoy reading and fishing and/or music.
