- Summary:
- Part memoir, part guidebook, part environmental history, Days on the Water, like Sajna's popular deer hunting book Buck Fever, pulls together everything essential to understanding fly fishing. Sajna traces the geologic events that formed Pennsylvania's abundant waterways and defined its 159 different species of fish. He discusses issues of vital importance to anglers and environmentalists: the stocking of streams, the impact of industry and development on water and fish. And he shares, for perhaps the first time, the colorful history of anglers in Pennsylvania -- from native American tribes to contemporary fly fishing clubs.
- Days on the Water will delight anglers, outdoor lovers, and readers of natural history. It will fit, naturally, in most tackle boxes.
