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." "Mac Francis has had a long love affair with the Beaverkill and its sister streams. Every page in Land of Little Rivers - its photos, paintings, writings, but most of all Mac's reflections - is a celebration of his passionate commitment. Anyone who shares his love of fly fishing and the speckled trout will revel in his portrayal of the beauty and history of our glorious sport." (Paul Volcker).
