review 1: Such a simple concept - television entertainer writes about another of his passions - and yet it was very enjoyable. A few things helped my appreciation for this book including a similar love for the river and experiencing his acting recently through his Arrested Development role. The latter assisted in hearing the book through his voice while imagining his mannerisms. It took three commuting legs to complete the book, and I could see revisiting this quick read in the future for just that reason. It comes across as more of an essay suggesting Henry's personal philosophies and explanations of overcoming challenges through the lens of fly fishing. I'm inspired to go fishing again soon through his explained and photographed joy. Hopefully that can happen ... moresoon!
review 2: This was really good! When many of us think of Henry Winkler, we immediately think of a guy in blue jeans and a black leather jacket that went by "The Fonz". We watched him religiously on Happy Days for years!On Winkler's happiest days, you can find him on a river in Montana .... fly-fishing! That's right! You read this correctly.This book is part autobiography, part anecdotes of his adventures in fly-fishing. Sometimes funny, sometimes not, but always very interesting. less
