NEW! - TRIBUTARIES LANDS ON THE 10 BEST BOOKS ABOUT FLY FISHING
https://www.latitudesoutfitting.com/post/the-10-best-books-about-fly-fishing
Tributaries: Fly-fishing Sojourns to the Less Traveled Streams describes the author’s fishing odyssey from a boyhood coming-of-age experience with a hermit with indigenous roots to an encounter with a vegan goddess. Along the way, homages are paid to Richard Brautigan, John Burroughs, and Art Flick, accidental mentoring to an underprivileged Black kid in Easton, and explorations of the inner self at Woodward Cave where enlightenment is revealed in the darkest of places. A chapter is devoted to the trials and accomplishments of his local Trout Unlimited chapter when he embraces the conservation values necessary for the sport’s survival.
4.8 Star rating on Amazon!
PRAISE FOR TRIBUTARIES
"This book is
delightfully different than most fly fishing books. The author gives the reader
pause for thought on a broad range of relevant fishing experiences and the
importance of protecting wild trout habitat. It is a book that will make you feel good
about the life of a fly fisherman. I recommend it highly."
- Lee Hartman, Author of The Delaware River Story and Trails in a Wild Frontier.
“Fun short stories that pulls in fly fishing adventures and experiences in Pennsylvania that we all can relate to, a must read”.
- Rick Nyles Owner and Operator of Sky Blue Outfitters.
This fine collection of heartfelt essays reflect author Lou Wentz’s lifelong devotion to the streams of eastern Pennsylvania and New York’s Catskill region. As a mantra for living a meaningful life, fly-fishing has inspired Wentz’s insightful words as well as motivated a dedicated effort through Trout Unlimited to give back to the small streams that have significantly touched his life. Tributaries: Fly-fishing Sojourns to the Less Traveled Streams is a splendid book destined to take the reader on a serpentine fly-fishing journey with a passionate veteran angler.
"I was expecting a traditional kiss and tell book covering some new locations and even secret personal technics for some lesser known waters of the region. It was none of those things, it was better."
- Dave Kile, Publisher of paflyfish.com
MEDIA REVIEWS
Book Review Trout magazine, page 21 Summer 2023 edition.
“We’re recommending it because we think it’s the coolest concentration of Pennsylvania- (and a bit Catskill-) centric short essays we’ve read.”
Book Review American Fly Fishing magazine, page 68 March/April 2023 edition
"Lou Wentz's first book is a captivating personal journey to the fringes of the fly-fishing experience along both obscure and well-known streams in Pennsylvania and the Catskills."
"Just as tributaries serve as feeder streams for larger bodies of water, the author’s own tributaries of life, although isolated moments in time, ultimately combine and masterfully embody the core of this instantly relatable book that all fly fishermen will be able to appreciate."
Book Review: PA Council TU Newsletter (follow link to page 14)
