Reel Love

Renowned artist John Atherton was also an avid angler and author of “The Fly and the Fish.” His beloved wife and fly fishing companion Maxine Atherton has now also written a book, “The Fly Fisher and the River: A Memoir,” to be released in March 2016 by Skyhorse. “Taken together,” writes Jonathan Miles, “these two books—which belong, stacked side by side, on every angler’s shelf—lend proof to what the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once wrote: that ‘love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.’” Via Garden & Gun.
