Lines On The Water by David Adams Richards

Lines On The Water by David Adams Richards

Lines on the Water is the story of a town, it's river and the community of people who fish it. David Adams Richards is a prize-winning author but when he's not writing, he's mostly fishing and when he's fishing it's always along the banks of the Miramichi river. This great river and the poachers, guides, visiting city suits and friends who share it with him have woven themselves into the fabric of his life and in Lines on the Water he pays tribute to them all. Spinning fishy tale after glorious fishy tale we join him and his companions on the endless search for the next great fishing pool and along the way remember why we love to read, and, why we have to fish.

Winner of the Governor General's Award
The prose is spare and direct, his arguments are passionate and convincing, but it is his poised storytelling that gives this book its power * Toronto Globe and Mail *
These stories, netted from the amber waters of the Miramichi and warmed over the campfire under the stars, are for the kind of flyfisher who can see more than fish when he or she looks in the water * National Post *
Wit and acuity mark out this Canadian writer of unaffected, unsentimental integrity* The Observer *
