I shelled out good money for this book - and thoroughly enjoyed it. Quigley is a masterful storyteller. While I am not a fisherman, the word pictures painted by the author really made me feel as if I were there with him. I particularly liked "The Legend" and "Painted Ladies."

| In the Company of Rivers: An Angler's Stories & Recollections by iUniverse, Inc. Book Description |
| Here's a book that embraces yet transcends the fly-fisher's world much as Bryson's A Walk in the Woods transcends the hiker's world. It is a journey to remote Labrador, to Alaska, Scotland, Ireland, the Florida Keys, to a Pepsi shack on the Catawba in the Carolinas, to a tackle shop no bigger than a rooster's nest on 42nd Street, to Kettle Creek in Pennsylvania's Forbidden Lands. It is suffused with the fragrance of Montecristos, the plumy sweetness of vintage Port, the sizzle of sirloins on a Coleman stove. Plus such unforgettable characters as Mr. Earp, a 100 percent West Virginian and 50 percent Cherokee; and Mr. Cotter, the quintessential NY cop turned fly-fishing gentleman. Ah, to write like Ed! He tickles you with his humorous observations and gets instructive without your even noticing. Curt Hill, Orvis-Endorsed Instructor + Destinations Planner A delicious collection filled with hearty helpings of wit and wisdom. Robert Selb, The Classic Fly Fisherman What an enjoyable read! Quigley has a witty way of telling amusing stories about his many and varied fly-fishing adventures. Charlie Meck, author of The Hatches Made Simple |
