Downstream: Reflections on Brook Trout, Fly Fishing, and the Waters of Appalachia
By Matthew T. Dickerson and David O’Hara
Cascade Book; E-book and softcover; 146 pp; $18.
“Downstream: Reflections on Brook Trout, Fly Fishing, and the Waters of Appalachia” is a mosaic combining nature writing, fly-fishing narrative, memoir, and philosophical and spiritual inquiry. Fly-fishing narratives and fragments of memoir provide the narrative arc for exploring relationships between humans and rivers, and the ways in which our attitudes and philosophies impact our practices and the waters we depend on for life. While each stone in this mosaic is worth a close look in its own right, seen from a distance the book offers a broader picture of the cold mountain waters of Appalachia and their famous native fish: the brook trout.
