<DIV><DIV><DIV>Originally published in 1994, this book was a fly-fishing phenomenon in the way Howell Raines's <I>Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis </I>was. Taking his fishing hobby to near metaphysical levels, Ted Leeson tells about his passions: rivers, trout, and fly fishing. With wry humor and rare insight, he explores questions that engage most fishermen: What is it about rivers that draws us so irresistibly, and why does fly fishing seem such an aptly suited response? Above all, <B>The Habit of Rivers </B>is about ways of seeing the wonderfully textured world that emanates from a river. </DIV></DIV></DIV>
