A Different Angle

Book excerpt: "The literature of fly fishing offers great tales of adventure as well as stories of renewal and discovery. Yet very little of it has been written by women--until now. A Different Angle presents a new look at the growing popularity of fly fishing among women through the writing of contemporary women anglers, from Pulitzer prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx to fly casting champion Joan Salvato Wulff. Whether exploring the sensual and spiritual pleasures of casting a line or the realities of being female in a predominately male sport, the women in this collection write with humor and eloquence about the sport they love. By turns lyrical, witty, and impassioned, these stories add a new dimension to the sport, literature, and art of fly fishing"--Book cover.
