This is an exerpt of Dave Buchanan's December 13 column in the Grand Junction Sentinel. Chris Hunt is Communications Director for TU's Public Lands Initiative. His book is available at Amazon.com or at www.flyfishscribe.com.
I just finished reading Chris Hunt’s entertaining new book “Shin Deep: a Fly Fisher’s Love for Living Water” (self-published, $16.99, 138 pp, softcover).The book is a compilation of some of Hunt’s essays on fly fishing, many of them written while he was still locked into a journalist’s job, or perhaps I should say “jobs.”Throughout the 19 well-crafted stories runs the theme of conservation, not simply for trout but for wild places, wild water and the wild creatures who inhabit both realms.
