Jim Babb is one of the most eccentric and riveting new voices to be heard in the world of fly fishing in many years. From his early days growing up in a small East Tennessee town to his migration through Brahmin Boston to the backwoods of Maine (where he built his own house, by hand), Babb's story is as unique as it is brilliantly told. He explores his first fly rods in "Blue Collar Cane"; his early use of the wet fly; and the expeditions he made for bream. Always, he fly fishes with a maverick genius, building a way of seeing and experiencing the world of fly fishing that is all his own, and that carries him from the ponds of Maine to great fly-fishing opportunities throughout the world as editor of Gray's Sporting Journal.

reviewed Crosscurrents: A Fly Fisher's Progress on September 18, 2020 Crosscurrents
For anyone enamored of fishing, heck, for any soul with an affinity to the woods, rivers or damn good writin', this book's worth perusing. Author James R. Babb may well have experienced more stream-side - or better yet, in the stream, adventures than anyone alive. (Or he's probably in the top ten.) And whatever his reservoir of tales, no fisher, at all, can carry a story like Mr. Babb. If you can visualize hurtling a fly along some tree-dappled brook along with Mark Twain, Henry Thoreau and Stephen Colbert. Great fun and even uplifting, eh? Well, that's comparable to reading each distinct story in Crosscurrents. Simply put, if you like crackling prose, erudition without pretension and the search for native brook trout (mostly) from Tennessee to Maine, with a few indelible characters and a creek full of chuckles, check it out. In a word, impressive. One may even want to learn a new skill, fly-fishing. Babb's quirky spirit can come along, too.
