From crystal-chalk streams to saltwater flats, untamed jungles, and cascading mountain streams, this collection literally offers up the “tastes” of the most epic fly-fishing adventures in the world.Fly fishing is ultimately less about catching fish and more about the experience—uniquely beautiful places and the people you meet along the way. A hugely important part of destination fishing is the post-angling gathering—often centered around local dishes. The food is what distinguishes these special places, and food is the medium through which fond memories are brought back to life.Each of the twenty destinations in this book features stunning original photos and a unique story about a fishing adventure. And each chapter is capped off with a few recipes—ranging from appetizers to main courses, drinks, and desserts—that exude the flavors of these special places, including fresh salmon and wild mushroom tarts from Normandy, France; baked halibut with wild berry glaze from Alaska; fish tacos and shrimp guacamole from Baja California, Mexico; and much more.Whether a world-traveling angler, someone dreaming of taking a first trip, or an armchair angler or traveler, all will appreciate the complete joy of fly fishing portrayed in these pages.
