Walt Franklin

Wings Over Water Walt Franklin

In this collection of personal essays, the author describes the flora and fauna he encounters while plying some of his favorite trout streams in the Mid-Atlantic states, New England and the American West. Walt Franklin is as much a bird watcher and amateur naturalist as he is an avid fly fisherman, with a strong desire to protect the lands he has walked and the waters he has fished for decades. Wings Over Water is a curious blend of fishing tales, folklore, natural history, and riverine ecology. It is also a lighthearted narrative the turns poetic whenever the wild comes into full view.
