“If fly fishing is an art, then Dave Tibbetts is the artist to paint it, and if fly fishermen understand the eternal beauty of their art, then Dave is the man to tell it. Here, in nearly 60 paintings and a dozen poems, Dave shares with us his lifetime love affair with fly fishing. He uses the nuances of light on lakes and streams to make his watercolors breathtaking and memorable. He voices in precise, succinct poems what most of us can only feel. The book is a feast for the eyes, a reverie for the mind, and a balm for the soul.”

“In the 1800’s, Luther Tibbetts brought us the iconic Rangeley Boat. In the new millennium, his descendant brings us the iconic images of its intended waters. In their wake, follow his gemstone poetry reflecting a crystalline beauty reminiscent of the Kennebagos. Like them, they give us pause and require myriad returnings... an absolute delight.”
