Hemingway would have been impressed. In a stunning combination of superb colour images and literary yet lively personal essays, celebrated angling photojournalist Roy Tanami chronicles his adventures to far-flung fly-fishing destinations in some of the most remote wilderness areas on the planet.


Angling the World takes us along on amazing excursions to ten of the world's top fly-fishing destinations. We seek out steelhead on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula; sea-run Arctic char in Nunavut, Canada; peacock bass and piranha in the Amazon jungle of Brazil; and brown trout on New Zealand's South Island. That's not to mention the fabled giant taimen of Mongolia, "one of the undisputed holy grail species for the serious, been there/done that, traveling fly angler." This member of the salmon family can weigh in at almost 200 pounds-and, yes, can "strike suddenly and often in a highly violent manner."
