"You will probably read this beautiful little book in the time of a cup of tea but you will want to contemplate it over and over again." --Yvon Chouinard, author of Let My People Go Surfing and Simple Fly Fishing: Techniques for Tenkara and Rod and Reel"Quietly potent, Moving Water illuminates the mystery and joy of fly fishing.
