I was lucky enought o get hold of Phil Weigalls new book A Call of The River, while roaming across Idaho chasing trout.
I may have been smelling sagebrush ont he plains by day but I was sniffing eucalypts and hearing magpies by night.
Phil would be one of the better all round fly writers going about at the moment and the best at this sort of personal essays.
If you liked his writing in A River Behind the Hill, you will enjoy this book with tales of mainland Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania plus a chapter on Europe as well.
This book is also illustrated by Trevor Hawkins, whose fabuloous artwork I want to have hanging in my office one day.
Definately worth looking for in your flyshop or bookstore
