Description: The author of the instant fishing classic The Optimist wades into deeper waters and shares new wisdom humor and experience in seven extraordinary fly - fishing expeditions that mark one year in his journey through the middle part of life when worldly demands increase even as fishing continues to beckon and must be pursued. In David Coggins's previous book The Optimist he tackles the techniques of fly fishing and meditates on its virtues recounting his triumphs and frustrations. Now in The Believer he deftly mixes travel local cultures further fishing challenges (some knee - buckling in their disappointment) and details his own experience as life and love crowd his time to fish. Self - consciously and self - deprecatingly Coggins embarks on seven far - flung fishing voyages away from screens and social media not answering his phone reveling in humanity's undying yearning for a quest for the rituals and rites of passage that mark transition. For David these journeys not only showcase his skill as an angler including to Norway Scotland Spain Cuba and Argentina as well as road trips to Wyoming Tennessee and the Catskills they also signal the end of his fly - fishing youth. But that doesn t mean that David will sell all his rods and hang up his hat; rather that his relationship with his fly - fishing obsession will evolve. And he's okay with that mostly especially if he can catch an elusive salmon or a ferociously strong tarpon or the mysterious and almost invisible bonefish. The Believer is a humble humorous call for the journey that is part of the destination where the search for greater self - awareness leads to patience observation and endurance. And since this is fly fishing after all there's always the possibility of abject failure and leaping glorious reward. Wry entertaining thoughtful and relatable The Believer will hook both anglers and non - anglers alike.
