Author Richard Landerman takes random, everyday musings and weaves them together with humor and substance using the common thread of fly fishing. His candid ruminations over such topics as life, death, sex, international politics, dentist's chairs, religion, art, literature, shaving lotion, lemon meringue pies, moustaches, growing up, skunks, and weather reporters will surely entertain you, cause you to reflect, and most certainly - itch to grab a fly rod. The Fly Rod Chronicles is a tapestry of a simple and provident life; an absorbing look back at the sport of fly fishing and one man's fifty year pursuit of this quiet pastime.
