Fifty years of fishing and friendship gathered into thirteen humorous and endearing short stories. From Mexico’s Rio Grande Gorge to Beaver Meadow in Vermont, to Lough Corrib in County Galway, Ireland. Writer/screenwriter Denis O’Neill and legendary war photographer James Nachtwey took their friendship on the road in pursuit of trout. These are stories of friendship for fishermen and non-fishermen alike.
“I thought ‘Jim & I” (the title story) was a masterpiece, a perfect short story in the manner of Ring Lardner, but very much in your own voice and I don’t get excited about most of the stuff I read.” — James Atlas, former associate editor, Atlantic Monthly
“Denis O’Neill is, I suspect, headed for greatness…” — Silvio Calabi, editor Fly Rod & Reel
