Summary

Joe Brooks was a fishing pioneer, and this compendium of his dispatches spans the history of modern fly fishing. At his peak, he logged 75,000 miles a year in Central and South America, from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, where he was one of the first to fish for bonefish with a fly. He cast for tiger fish in Africa, and angled the atolls of the South Pacific and the lakes of New Zealand.
