    About this ebook

    Nervous Water and Other Florida Stories is a collection of six short stories that explore the spirit of fly-fishing today. The author uses tales of stalking fish in Florida to examine environmentalism, philosophy, fishing as entertainment, the nature of celebrity, the meaning of relationships, and the importance of fishing to our identities. Nervous water can tell you where the fish are moving just beneath the surface, but it also implies that just under the surface lies an uneasiness, an apprehension about the future, and that within this anxiety lives the possibility—maybe even the promise—of something better.

      Fall is the hungriest season. Migrations are in full swing, and creatures by the score are on the move and feeding intensely — from the 11 sanderlings scurrying up and down the steep beach face as I walk with surf rod in hand, to shoals of fish trail

      Striper Island

      Oct 5, 2021

      I’ve always had a thing for islands. I fished five islands in the North-east, by boat and from shore, for so many years that I consider them home waters. Most of the large stripers I’ve taken have come off four of those islands, which are swept daily
