Items related to Catching On: Love with an Avid Fly Fisher
In nineteen entertaining stories, some humorous, some spiritual, some probing, "Catching On" chronicles a southern woman's journey to understand her northwest husband's obsession with fly fishing, and how she fits into it.
Anyone who's tried to love and be loved will relate to this couple as they fish, fight, and love their way through: the southern "fishwife" image Carol can't stand but can't shake either; the truth about those "Nice fish!" videos; the reunion of a brown trout and a rainbow; two brands of bigamy; a battle over a bloody duck; enough fly-fishing loot to embarrass (almost) anybody; a force way more powerful than power bait; sin and redemption, British booby-fly style; the first (and last) teeny-tiny fishing rodeo; Carol's tuning into the "fly-fish song"; and much more. . .

From the Publisher:
"Catching On" is neither a "how-to" fishing book nor a typical collection of fishing essays. It is an exploration of a relationship infused with one partner's passion for fly fishing. The author's professional background, working with couples in her therapy practice, combined with her marriages to obsessed men, make her uniquely qualified to illuminate the ups and downs of relationships.
From the Author:
A delightfully different, fresh collection, and a cross-over between outdoor and mainstream literature, "Catching On" makes an ideal gift.
I believe in love. I believe it can last. I believe, as Ed tells me in the first chapter of "Catching On", that "marriage can be like fishing--the pursuit of that which is elusive but attainable". I believe that "Catching On" is a gift--one from my soul to the reader's, and that thoughtful people will gift others with it. I believe, in every activity, not just fishing, that process is more important than outcome. I believe that "Catching On" is a tribute to women, to men, to fly fishing, and to honoring our loved one's passions.
