I'll Be Home for Dinner, Unless There's a Hatch

Veteran writer, guide, and educator Lou Zambello pulls back the curtain on a life lived in waders and words. With warmth, wit, and wry humor, he takes readers on a journey that drifts from intimate brook trout waters in his home state of Maine to far-flung waters around the world, joined often by his wife, Lindsey, and family. Lou reveals the realities behind guiding, adventure travel, and the craft of writing guidebooks and how-to manuals, including the long travel days and discoveries made both on and off the water. Part memoir, part adventure, and part love letter to small streams and wild trout, this book will leave readers laughing, learning new fly-fishing approaches, and longing to grab a rod and explore. No surprise, the book is filled with insightful guide tips, patterns, and streamside observations that will enhance any angler's time on the water. Perfect for fly-fishing enthusiasts aged 16 and up who appreciate authentic stories from the water. 6x9 inches, 290 pgs.
