Synopsis

FISHING ADVENTURES FROM THE AUTHOR OF 50 PLACES TO FLY FISH BEFORE YOU DIE These thirty stories take readers from leaping makos near the fairways of Torrey Pines to midnight Atlantic salmon fishing on the fabled Ponoi to encounters with very friendly mujeres on the streets of Havana . . . and even offer an unauthorized (yet unequivocal) account of Bob Dylan's 1970s obsession with fishing. Santella's peripatetic lifestyle and eye for entertaining details--even those that have little to do with the act of throwing flies at fish--will make you look at fishing in a whole different way.

Media Reviews
The book contains 37 essays on fly fishing that first appeared in the New York Times where we are taken in search of trout, salmon, roosterfish, carp and many other species too. You'll travel from the Ponoi River to Havana and farther still in the pursuit of fish. Each essay is deeply descriptive, funny in places and thought-provoking too...

The Tug is the Drug is the perfect read for the angler who can't get to the water or is away on holiday wanting to read about their favourite pastime. * Eat Sleep Fish *
