The Story
At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eightyearold grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of flyfishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the waters edge. Fishing the River of Time is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires selfreflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreaus Walden.
