*A story about love, loss, and fly fishing *
The raw prose of David Coggins is one of our favorites around Huckberry HQ. The Believer is an account of Coggins’ fly fishing journeys around the world, delving into incredible locales ranging from the deep wilderness of Wyoming to the frigid shores of Norway. Filled with stories of life, loss, triumph, and of course, some fly fishing, this one comes highly recommended from the Huckberry crew.

From The Believer:
"A fishing trip is a pilgrimage. Like all pilgrimages it can be single-minded and pure or wild and irrational. Pilgrimages have the clarity specific to the true devotee. That they’re mildly unhinged makes them even more appealing. A pilgrimage benefits from simplicity. The line is direct—you hear a calling and you follow the sound. This raises the stakes. What if you don’t catch a fish? Then you really become one of the people who says it’s not about the fish. But was it about the fish? That’s always the question, isn’t it? They say fishing is a metaphor for life—well I don’t say that. Sometimes a white whale is just a white whale."
