In Flywater, the magic and majesty of the Western North American fly fishing experience is captured with consummate skill through the photography of Grant McClintock and with rare insight through the writing of Mike Crockett. With the help of their friend Jack Hemingway, who wrote the book's introduction, these anglers set out on a year's sojourn through the West visiting some of the nation's most renowned trout and steelhead rivers. They came away from their travels with the photographs, tales, and memories which became the book Flywater. Though the pictures and words are personal reflections, Flywater offers the universal qualities of beauty, reverence, and humor which elevate fly fishing from sport to art. The captions alone would make a book. Coupled with McClintock's rich photo images, they create a compelling journey that the reader, whether fisherman or non-fisherman, will thoroughly enjoy. Flywater is a gallery of moments, places, people, ideas. For the serious fly fisherman, it is an album of shared experiences. For the uninitiated, it is an artfully crafted guidebook to an exotic new world that really does exist on the streams and rivers of the West. (111/4 X 91/2, 148 pages, color photos)

Here in the pages of Watermark, you will find the unforgettable record of a unique odyssey - a stunning photographic and written account of fly fishing past and present in the eastern waters of North America. The trip begins on the trout streams of southern Appalachia and moves northward - from the spring creeks of Pennsylvania to the freestones of New York and New England; from the brook trout lakes of Maine to the great salmon rivers of Atlantic Canada. Photographer/writer Grant McClintock and writer Mike Crockett first teamed up with Jack Hemingway to produce the acclaimed book Flywater, a compelling portrait of fly fishing in the American West. In Watermark, they are joined by their friend Fen Montaigne, a noted author and outdoorsman, who contributes a refreshing look at American fly fishing in its birthplace, the Catskills. The word "Watermark" is a fitting title for this work, making as it does a dual reference both to the high point in a river's level and to that unique impression which identifies a fine sheet of paper. Watermark's essays represent a high point in our fly fishing literature, and its images, struck upon paper as they were struck upon the camera's lens, imbue each page of this book with indelible character and lasting quality.
