More Information
A novel volume to live by, or at least learn something about dry flies & woolly buggers, I've Never Meet an Idiot on the River is Henry Winkler?s collection of every-day wisdom learned from fatherhood, family, & fly-fishing. A veteran of showbiz & television legend, Winklers paramount pastime has always been fishing. It takes him to the outdoors, returning him to nature where he can be away from the busyness of everyday life--- a ?washing machine for your brain,? as Winkler calls it. Standing in the river is a different way of being that allows intuition to rule & important life lessons to make themselves apparent.
Spending time with family on these trips has taught him to be a better father, husband, & gain more out of everyday life. Being in nature has reminded him of how to really see the world, as well as how to understand the importance & value of simplicity. Courting fish with flies has made him more self-reliant, patient . . . & funnier. Through wading in the waters & casting his line some might say Henry Winkler has grown a bit wiser, while others might say: ?You?ll never meet an idiot on the river.?
