Phil Genova teaches fly fishing at Cornell University, serves as National Youth Fly Fishing Education Chairman for the Federation of Fly Fishers, and writes extensively on fly fishing topics. He lives in Ithaca, New York. With my fly-fishing experiences, I get to witness and participate in many cycles. I learn the art that I will someday pass on, I realize the cycle of nature and role I play in it, and I have a better understanding of the cycle of nature in general and how everything grows to a peak and then passes its experiences on. There is no better way to observe nature than to enter a stream, catch a fish, release it, and become part of the cycle. 165 b/w photos, 25 drawings, 6 x 9.
