Description
Jim Babb is one of the most eccentric and riveting new voices to be heard in the world of fly fishing in many years. From his early days growing up in a small East Tennessee town to his migration through Brahim Boston to the backwoods of Maine (where he built his own house, by hand), Babb's story is as unique as it is brilliantly told. 'What rings on every page of this book, ' writes Ted Leeson in the foreword, 'is a tremendously energetic, expressive, and robust voice ...it is distinctive and original, an authentic voice, pure homegrown.' The story that voice tells us is always connected to fly fishing - in waters near and far, always memorable
