Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die by Chris Santella

For both armchair travelers and avid outdoorsmen who may have already started a checklist of their own, Santella maps out, thoroughly reviews and provides beautiful photographs of the meccas of the fly-fishing world.

Presenting 50 of the world's finest locations for fly fishing, the author describes the essence of fishing in exotic and beautiful locations. From Cuba to Kamchatka or the Florida Keys to Mongolia, this guide provides the information and inspiration for a more ambitious fishing adventure.
