THE BELIEVER: ON THE WATER

June 11, 2024 by David Coggins in Fishing

Anybody who writes a book about fishing is obligated to say, Well it’s about more than fishing. And if they’re in the publicity department they add, It’s really about life. Now I’m not saying The Believer is about life, but it is about time. How we spend it and balance doing what we love with the other parts of our lives—domestic, professional, cultural.

But yes, there’s fishing. Trying to catch brown trout, Atlantic salmon, permit and bonefish in the great waters from Argentina to Norway, Cuba to Spain. If you read my newsletter then hopefully you’ll find something to like there. But don’t take my word for it. Actually one of the chapters is out in Esquire, so you can preview it there.

You can order signed copies from Three Lives in Manhattan (they wrap, they ship!) and you can always order from the usual suspects.

Hope you like it!
