Headwaters

The Adventures, Obsession and Evolution of a Fly Fisherman

By: Dylan Tomine, John Larison - introduction

Narrated by: Dylan Tomine

Christmas Island. The Russian Arctic. Argentine Patagonia. Japan. Cuba. British Columbia.

Dylan Tomine takes us to the far reaches of the planet in search of fish and adventure, with keen insight, a strong stomach and plenty of laughs along the way. Closer to home, he wades deeper into his beloved steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the politics of saving them. Tomine celebrates the joy—and pain—of exploration, fatherhood and the comforts of home waters from a vantage point well off the beaten path. Headwaters traces the evolution of a lifelong angler’s priorities from fishing to the survival of the fish themselves. It is a book of remarkable obsession, environmental awareness shaped by experience, and hope for the future.

Great perspective, encouragement for action

This was helpful in finding my way through my own conservation journey. Loved to way it was organized.

Moving

This book truly brings the world of fishing and conservation together. A must read for any angler or conservationist

Held my interest

I’m not a fly fisherman nor do I plan to be, but I appreciated the quality writing and well placed humor. The book also educated me on conservation problems of which I was not aware.

Wonderful stringer fishing adventures

A must read for those of us who love the fishing, the outdoors, and who want to make a difference in our natural world by making it little better for our kid and grandkids! Thank you for the book!

Informative conservation narrative on salmon today

This book is very informative on the state of the wild salmon. Including the story of a lifelong passion for the sport of fly fishing. Very well written.
