We follow it along its spawning run, learning about its curious life cycle, biology, quirks, and mythology among fly fishermen. He opens with a tall tale about his long vigil with a giant roe shad on the line. Night falls, a crowd gathers on a nearby bridge to watch and still the fish refuses to roll over; however embellished, its a comic story. He fishes and visits the laboratories of famous ichthyologists; he takes instruction in the making of shad darts from a master of the art; he delivers a moving treatise on the particular sound that is unique to every river. In the process, he creates a portrait of Americas great waterways and of one of their most storied residents.</p><p><em>Theyre in the River</em> is part of the Picador Shorts series Oceans, Rivers, and Streams in which excerpts from beloved classics speak to our relationship with our water bodies, great and small.</p>...7062099Theyre in the River (Picador Shorts)187215https://www.gandhi.com.mx/theyre-in-the-river--picador-shorts--9781250391292/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7027947/image.jpg?v=638853770476500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
