Synopsis
In three major sections, the book takes a look at the rivers, the people involved in fly fishing, and the equipment used. Ferorelli, a regular contributor to "National Geographic, " spent five months creating this evocative portfolio. 400+ photos., The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie, and Delaware-the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others-are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, Land of Little Rivers presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers; classic rods, reels, and flies; and engaging stories of the people, events, and developments that constitute the Catskill fly-fishing tradition. Author Austin McK. Francis, noted angling historian and biographer and acknowledged authority on the history of Catskill fly fishing, has a home in the Catskill Mountains and has fished there for more than thirty-five years. Famed photographer and avid fly fisher Enrico Ferorelli, a regular contributor to National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines, spent five months creating the most evocative portfolio of photos ever made of these historic rivers. Together they have produced an exquisite, museum-quality work, one that captures magnificently the beauty and passion so central to the sport Izaak Walton called "the gentle art.", A stunning photographic portrait and rich, lucid narrative of the hallowed streams where American fly fishing had its beginnings. The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie, and Delaware--the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others--are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, Land of Little Rivers presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers. Complementing its photographic beauty, Land of Little Rivers is a book of substance, filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, and nuggety captions. Land of Little Rivers is the product of author Francis's twenty-five years of research and writing about Catskill fly fishing, and of photographer Ferorelli's more than thirteen thousand images, from which has been selected the most evocative portfolio of photos ever made of these historic rivers. Together they have produced an exquisite, museum-quality work, one that captures magnificently the beauty and passion so central to the sport Izaak Walton called "the gentle art."

    A book for all lovers of the Catskills

    This book covers all the bases for someone interested in the catskills. It may be a book about the fly fishing tradition, but it also covers the history of the region. It is a book filled with superb color photos of the rivers, reservoirs, and the fly fishing clubs. I highly recomend this book for any fly fisher in the world who has or wants to fish in the cradle of dry fly fishing in America.

    America's Fly Fishing Birthplace-Superb

    Great coffee table book..exactly as described with all of this particular book's foible(slightly dented spine, three glued in paper notes, otherwise wonderful). I have never fished this area but the book conveys such a sense of it that I feel I have been there-the birthplace of American fly fishing.
