Endorsement
Early on in this wonderful collection, Dylan Tomine says he was “born to fish.” He was obviously born to write, too. Headwaters exemplifies the very best in angling literature, with prose that is, at various times, hilarious, profound and mournful. The book makes you fight simultaneous urges—Grab a rod and go? Or keep your butt in the chair and continue reading? You win either way. --Monte Burke, author of Saban and Lords of the Fly
Endorsement
Dylan Tomine vividly recounts an arc many anglers experience, from passionate beginnings, through diligence and expertise, to enlightenment. -- Tom McGuane, author, artist and angler
