This little volume recollects true accounts from a fly-fisher's angling log centered about a half-century of the pursuit of trout, sometimes more than one-hundred-fifty fishing outings a season. Settings include New York's Catskill Mountains, Garden State wild trout waters, and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Shenandoah National Park. And time of year was not always a factor. Visit these streams through the author's eyes. But, much more important than the author's outings are several chapters within this paperback that document the life and times of Edmund William Sens, perhaps a little known but significant twentieth century Catskill flyfisher and salt-water angler, to whom this book is dedicated. Additionally, readers will wander environs they might not have known existed; some pristine wild trout waters, some now not what they once were. And you will be exposed to a few trout flies that have captured the fancy of this author, plus a few fish that agreed with his choice of offering.

A new collection from the Don Quixote of fly fishing.
James Babb imbues his devastating wit, ornery perspective, and musical language within each of the ribald tales in River Music. This is exemplified in the “Prelude,” his opus about “the occasional laugh, the occasional thought, a bit about fly fishing and a bit about Life, and all of it underpinned by the music of rivers.” The pieces are arranged in a harmonious current that carries us through the seasons, and life itself. He recounts a disastrous--and hilarious--spring canoeing trip with a friend in “The Darling Buds of May,” where the snow accumulated so quickly on their hats that they “looked like Conehead voyageurs from Remulak.” In “The Coriolis Effect,” Babb rhapsodizes about the sights, smells, and culture of what he considers to be the last great place on Earth, where pristine Chilean waters and a native way of life relieve him of an obsession about which direction the water flushes. And in “Little Jewels,” he weaves an exquisite, deeply humorous, and haunting nocturne with peccadillo accompaniment that considers the mating habits of trout and men, mortality, and a thirty-nine-year-long unrequited love. Babb is a maverick whose latest offering is a true departure from conventional essays on fly fishing, or on any subject, and will be relished by the growing circle of Babb fanatics everywhere.
