Big Indian Creek: October 23-29, 1994

Big Indian Creek: October 23-29, 1994 by Hughes, Dave. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780811702355.

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)
