Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

John Dietsch-fly fishing coordinator and stuntman for Brad Pitt on the timeless film A River Runs Through It-explores our connection to the outdoors through the prism of fly fishing and investigates its transformative and healing power in the face of loss.In this inspirational and humorous collection of essays, author John Dietsch sees his addiction to and passion for fishing as a parable that can help us shift from compulsive thinking to mindfulness and a closer connection to God. From creating fishing scenes on the set of A River Runs Through It in Montana, to directing fly fishing shows in New Zealand and from exploring deep canyons in California to guiding in Colorado, John shares his experiences and asks the question: what are we really fishing for? Through John's journeys across the globe, we discover that the same pursuit in fishing-of what is elusive but attainable-can be applied to our own spiritual journey. In the end, Dietsch uncovers his own truth under the rocks of a childhood river, recognizing the loss of both his brothers as the path of acceptance and faith that is graced by waters.
