Closer to home, he wades deeper into his beloved steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the politics of saving them. Tomine celebrates the joy-and pain-of exploration, fatherhood and the comforts of home waters from a vantage point well off the beaten path.Headwaterstraces the evolution of a lifelong angler's priorities from fishing to the survival of the fish themselves.

About the Author :
Dylan Tomine, formerly a fly fishing guide, is now a writer, conservation advocate, blueberry farmer and father, not necessarily in that order. His work has appeared in the Flyfish Journal, the Drake, Golfweek, the New York Times and numerous other publications. Thomas Francis McGuane III is an American author. His work includes ten novels, short fiction and screenplays, as well as three collections of essays devoted to his life in the outdoors.

Review :
“What is fly fishing? Everything.” Anglers will find Tomine’s book a spirited defense of that thesis. -- Kirkus Reviews Tomine delivers a work that informs and moves in equal measure. This is sure to reel in readers. --Publishers Weekly  . . . a sparkling, elegiac book. -- The Wall Street Journal "Dylan Tomine isn’t just a writer, he’s a researcher, reporter, biographer, historian, humorist, essayist, and columnist. But mostly, he’s just a great storyteller—one that understands a story needn’t be twelve thousand words to be compelling."  -- The Drake With quick delivery, injections of humor and such locales as Northwest steelhead country, Patagonia, Russia and Japan, Tomine’s explorations will keep you in your chair when the river is too swollen to fish. But after a day or two of dropping water levels, the author will be the first to tell you to go cast a line: “It’s just that when the river’s right, the river’s right. -- Anglers' Journal "I belong to an informal book club on Skype with three college buddies scattered from New England to the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, we have discussed many elevating reads. But this is one of the best I’ve encountered in a long while. I’m the only angler in the group. Still, my friends harbor eclectic interests and love good stories in all forms. Next time it’s my turn to choose, this book gets the nod."—Scott Dailey, American Fly Fishing "Come for the writing, stay for the paintings, and proudly display Headwaters on your shelf for many years to come." --Ed Roberson, Mountain and Prairie podcast
