"Solitude and fine fishing can often be found together on small streams. They seldom coexist on big rivers."--from
Holy Ghost Creek
Frank Weissbarth's beautifully written fishing memoir evokes the private pleasures and the mystery of angling in small streams, beginning on a Rocky Mountain creek known as Holy Ghost. He shares the wisdom he has accumulated on countless days fishing this and other streams, presenting his knowledge with wit and a profound reverence for the beauty of the sport and the places it is practiced. He offers detailed descriptions of Holy Ghost Creek and other waters, named and unnamed, but this is by no means a guidebook or a how-to book. Rather, it is a celebration of the joys of small streams and quiet adventures.
