At eighty, Tony Taylor travels from Sydney to British Columbia's Cowichan River to teach his eight‑year‑old grandson, Ned, the craft of fly‑fishing. The narrative moves between practical moments by the water and reflective memories drawn from a long life.

Watching currents and exchanging stories becomes a way to explore memory, the bond between generations, and how landscape shapes thought. The tone is calm and observant, blending precise outdoor detail with lyrical reflection.

Readers who enjoy nature writing and personal essays will appreciate compact meditations on aging, mentorship and the small rituals that connect family across time.

  • Setting: Cowichan River, British Columbia
  • Themes: memory, family, nature

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!

The book was in excellent condition and it arrived in approximately 5 days, much sooner than I had expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
