Flywater

Retired general M.D. Bonn Bonner survived an assassins attempt on his life but not unscathed. The shotgun blast left him partially blind and plagued by seizures, no longer capable of defending himself as he once was. To his horror and dismay, he soon discovers the would-be killer is a forgotten friend from Bonns rebellious college days. The second time around, this rogue military-trained assassin has an airtight plan for Bonn that would usually allow him to rest assured without pre-mission anxiety. However, this assignment is personal and tainted with a decades-old obsession for revenge. Despite his earlier failure, he will not fail this time, and hes sure Bonn knows hes coming. If Bonn is going to survive, he must rely on the help of three strong women: Rebecca, a Special Ops Colonel and ex-lover; CIA Agent Michelle Milton; and Cari, an Air Force Base Commander. Together, these brilliant, courageous, and fearless women have one goal: draw a sociopathic killer into their trap and save Bonns life.

The magic and majesty of America’s greatest western fly-fishing rivers. Flywater brings us to the iconic creeks, springs, freestone rivers, and tailwaters that make the American West the world’s premier destination for fly fishing. Grant McClintock’s first book struck a chord with fishermen, and fifteen years later he takes the reader back to these fabulous places—from the storied Henry’s Fork to the Yellowstone to the Thompson River in British Columbia. With extraordinary new photography and wisdom, McClintock revisits these home waters and discovers countless others as well. Flywater is a gallery of moments and places. From Idaho and Montana to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, McClintock’s rich photography of trout and steelhead waters surrounded by beautiful Western landscapes creates a compelling journey that the reader, whether fisherman or non-fisherman, will thoroughly enjoy. For the serious fly fisherman, this is an album of shared experiences. For the uninitiated, it is an artfully crafted guidebook to an exotic new world that really does exist on the streams and rivers of the American West.

“A lavishly photographed dreambook of the world’s top angling spots” (Men’s Journal) Amateur or expert, every angler dreams of landing “the big one,” but that’s only part of the appeal of fly fishing. Because even when hours pass without a bite, nothing beats the rugged beauty of the surroundings. For both armchair travelers and avid outdoorsmen who may have already started a checklist of their own, Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die maps out the meccas of the fly-fishing world. Through in-depth interviews with the sport’s acknowledged gurus, author Chris Santella goes beyond standard guides to convey the very essence of the recommended locations.

The fifty essays include a cultural and natural history of each site, along with colorful anecdotes based on the author's and authorities’ experiences. With breath-takingly-beautiful photos of the spots, many by celebrated fly-fishing photographer R. Valentine Atkinson, the book also provides adventurous anglers with enough travel-and-tackle information so that they, too, can start planning excursions to go fish around the globe.
