Marina Gibson's writing is as exquisite as her casting."" --Paul Whitehouse, author of How We Fish ""An engaging, forthright and impressive debut. This highly personal memoir will appeal to anyone who loves what fishing can bring to life... fluent and assured."" --David Profumo, author of The Lightning Thread ""Gibson compares the harrowing natural history of the Atlantic salmon to her own restless, sometimes reckless life and illustrates that, although it really is possible to find serenity and purpose through fly-fishing, getting there can be a long, strange trip."" --John Gierach, author of All the Time in the World ""A well-wrought story of love, self-love, and fly fishing. Marina Gibson's book illuminates the healing power of practicing something complicated while immersed, literally, in the natural world. A book for lovers of memoir and anyone who thrills to the catch."" --Kristin Kimball, author of The Dirty Life ""If you came here for angling action, you won't be disappointed.... Catch, Cast, Release is a wonderful tale of one woman's love affair with fly fishing, initiated by her mother on the banks of a salmon river.
