"The Henry's Fork is Valhalla; the place you visit when you've reached your pinnacle as an angler. This one river, more than any other, transcends numbers, size and every other form of tyrannical quantitative analysis; it is a star in the angling sky, a fly fishing temple where the only thing that truly matters is your next cast." (Todd Tanner, "The Henry's Fork: The Ranch," Hatch Magazine, August 15, 2017).

Very mild edge wear, extremely clean internally. An easily near fine copy in a very good to near fine jacket. A beautiful example of this incredibly scarce and important title on fly fishing.
