My Fly-Fishing Days

Trout streams are clean, cool running bodies of water found in the most scenic places in America. For fly fishers, they are magnets, beckoning them, haunting their dreams. Mike Reuther knows the magical lure of creeks and rivers. For him, they hold cherished memories. My Fly-Fishing Days takes the reader to some of those trout streams, from Reuther s native Pennsylvania to the fabled waters of the American West. Along the way, the reader will meet other fly fishermen: The Cigar Man, a Penns Creek sage, a mentor. Reuther writes of river journeys, chasing salmon, opening days of trout season, and the thrill of catching that first fish. At times philosophical, even humorous, this series of stories offers a unique glimpse into the world of an avid fly fisherman, sharing his victories, his frustrations. Along the way, Reuther poses that unanswerable question that has stumped humans through the ages: Why does anyone fish?
