'From his early days growing up in a small eastern Tennessee town to his migration through Brahmin Boston to the backwoods of Maine (where he built his own house, by hand), Babb's story is as unique as it is brilliantly told.

FROM THE FOREWORD
A kind of storytelling that pops you upright like a jolt of raw moonshine. --Ted Leeson
What rings on every page of this book, writes Leeson, "is a tremendously energetic, expressive, and robust voice . . . It is distinctive and original, an authentic voice, pure homegrown. And the story that voice tells is always connected to fly fishing--in waters near and far, always memorable.
