A Different Angle : Fly Fishing Stories by Women Book

"Many of these writers came to fly fishing in order to defy, or to wow, or to woo a man. But once the River speaks, the man becomes a superfluous distraction and a woman finds herself standing alone, in living water, defying and wowing the self. This is the moment the fly fisher is born. This beautiful birth is the heartbeat of these stories." -David James Duncan, author of The River Why and The Brothers K

Includes stories by Pulitzer-Prize-winner E. Anne Proulx, Cowboys Are My Weakness author Pam Houston, fly casting champion Joan Slavato Wulff, Lorian Hemingway, LeAnne Schreiber, and more
Since the success of Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis and A River Runs Through It, fly fishing has been growing in popularity among both sexes
Both men and women will enjoy these sometimes poignant, more often humorous tales of uniformly high literary quality. -Library Journal

The number of books on fly fishing written by women has been practically nil, for it has been historically considered a male preserve--until now. This book offers new voices, fresh perspectives and excellent writing from some of the country's finest contemporary writers.
