“Monte Burke’s extraordinarily detailed portraits and nice, clean prose turn his stories into literatureI’m a big fan.” * Thomas McGuane, author of The Longest Silence *
"If there's a finer writer in flyfishing not named McGuane, I don't know who it would be. This collection of essays and profiles is sure to be a hit." -- The Drake
