‘Although there’s plenty of practical advice here, this book is more about why we fish, what makes it special and how it makes us feel.’ – Mark Cloutier

Every fisherman has a special stretch of water, where the fish are always plentiful and the memories flow. River Song revels in each of celebrated fishing writer Mark Cloutier’s special locations, discovered over four decades fishing the mountain streams and lakes of Australia and New Zealand. Each tale conjures the romance of days spent chasing the perfect catch, and the insight that only quiet hours spent in the wild can bring.

With gorgeous black-and-white photography from Mark’s adventures, River Song is a loving ode to fishing’s power to soothe the soul, and the perfect gift for anglers and nature lovers alike.

Over four decades, Mark Cloutier has fished across the world, from the Snowy Mountains, to the Spanish Pyrenees, to Yellowstone National Park – the wilder and more remote, the better. His writing has been published in Drake, Freshwater Fishing, Modern Fishing, Fishing World, and he is a feature writer for the highly acclaimed magazine Fly Life. River Song is Mark’s first book.
