I really enjoyed the book. The characters were very believable, and I enjoyed reading about the time period it took place in. I'm going to have to work on my fly casting techniques now. I look forward to reading his next book.

Review by: Norma Wills on Feb. 07, 2011 : star star star
This book was considerably longer then the first one that I read by this author. Again I had received a coupon code in exchange for a review.

Once again, the author really delivered on creating characters that were believable. At times the story felt a little slow moving and choppy. However it really was a great tale. I loved the fact that young Ian had met up with Izzy after the fishing tournament.

One thing I came away with was the fact that sometimes life’s lessons come from people and places that you would never expect.

Another thing I would like to comment on is the fact that the father character was extremely narrowed minded towards the beginning. But then again, many people were like that back in those times.
