Big Indian Creek

Dave Hughes retreated to the high desert canyons of central Oregon for a week in the autumn of 1994 to fish in solitude. The result of this trip in part is this diary--a notebook really--that follows the wandering thoughts of an angler and a man. These informal yet crystalline entries are meditative reflections on the landscape the authors love of the outdoors the mysteries of life and death--in short the sort of awareness and candor that has attended the most observant anglers through the ages. When Hughes returned home he felt a deep sense of "renewal." Readers will too. (amazon)
