Fly Fishing as Art

Jake relaxes on the banks of Montana's Madison River.

“To him, all good things—trout as well as eternal salvation—come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.”

-Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It

I’m missing spring in Montana.

I have been to Montana several times and LOVED it! It seems like one of the last places that is truly CLEAN! And although the movie “A River Runs Through It” is visually stunning, the book is not to be missed! -Jennifer

It truly is an amazing place, Jennifer. “The movie” was shot on my home river and I can’t watch that movie without getting homesick.

Agreed – the book is not to be missed. All of Maclean’s work is outstanding… and classic.
