Summary

In this delightful collection of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations, Henry Winkler shares the joy and wisdom he¿s accumulated while honing his skills as a fly fisherman. A accomplished sportsman who meticulously records the measurements of every fish he hooks, Winkler has learned that his yearly trips to the river are not just about catching trout. More importantly, they¿re about adopting the proper perspective on life. Or, as Winkler puts it, when he¿s fly fishing, the river acts like a washing machine for my brain, recharging him and reminding him that anything is possible. Winkler makes a habit of sharing his angling adventures with his wife, Stacey, and their three children, Jed, Zoe, and Max. The Winklers¿ annual trip, where they can escape the busyness of everyday life, has brought them together as a family. On the river, Henry has grown to appreciate the support his wife and children give him, learned to listen, and developed the confidence to publish his outdoor photography in his first non-fiction book.
