When he gets the call that his friend has finally passed, Greenberg is standing in the Au Sable River at dusk. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The solace he takes from fishing -- from reading the movement of the river water, studying the play of the light, and relying on his knowledge of insect and fish life -- prompts him to reflect on the impact of the natural world on his life in his fisherman's journal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Over the course of a year, the journal transcends fishing notes to include some beautifully lyrical nature writing, entertaining stories of the big one that got away, cheerful introspection about a love that's hard to explain, and yes, a tip or two. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eventually, Josh Greenberg realizes he hasn't been all alone in the woods, not really. Much of his relationship with his family and friends has played out on the river. And as he catches -- and releases -- trout after trout back into one of the most beautiful rivers in America, Greenberg comes to help us realize, too, that there's more to fishing than catching fish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melville House Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612199016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Josh Greenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38607573123253,"sku":"9781612199016","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d3a0e6bb-5c62-413d-89fd-59d3076ceff4.jpg?v=1614089494","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/trout-water-a-year-on-the-au-sable-9781612199016","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
