Bright Rivers chronicles the angling passions and frustrations of one of fly-fishing's greatest men of letters.
A city dweller trapped in the complexities of modern life, Nick Lyons has always found solace in his pilgrimages to great rivers. It is there that he fishes for trout, and in Bright Rivers, Lyons recounts the sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious experiences of his expeditions to the Delaware, Beaverkill, Madison, Big Hole, and Yellowstone rivers, sharing reminiscences of trout taken, released, and sometimes lost. No one writes better about not catching fish than Nick Lyons, and perhaps no one writes better about angling, period. This edition includes a new foreword by the author.
From a richly textured diary of a summer in the Catskills to moving recollections of fly-fishing in Montana, Lyons brilliantly captures the wonderful tension between gray streets and bright rivers.

Critic reviews
It follows a similar format of the other big Fly Fishing author that I am also listening to. That is, collections of stories that sometimes go off on tangents and then wind back to the main point of the chapter.
The thing I find different about Nick Lyon’s writing is that it seems more “whimsical” and “poetic”. In fact, he refers to old poetry regularly. It’s a subtle difference that I appreciate.
