Editorial Reviews

Darling's book actually reads more like an old river guide's friendly streamside advice to an angler visiting the Big T for the first time.

It's warm, humorous and lightly romantic. Uniquely conversational and shot through with the wit, wisdom, observations and innate curiosity of a passionate fly fisherman who's spent half a lifetime trying to unravel the subtle mysteries of the river that runs by his cabin's front door, "Fly Fishing Colorado's Big Thompson River" will endear itself to
