About This Book
A Memoir of Fathers, Sons, and Fly-Fishing
A heartfelt memoir of three generations of fathers and sons who connect through
their shared love of fly-fishing.
On the South Branch of the Raritan River in New Jersey, Bill Plummer casts his
line in the hope that fly-fishing might fortify him in the face of a failed
marriage, the death of his father, and a faltering career. Inspired by the
discovery of his father's fly-fishing diary, Bill sets out to understand his
father's curious allegiance to the sport and uses the diary as a point of access
to what he thought was a distant and enigmatic man. As he comes to delight in
the peculiar pleasures of his father's favorite pastime, he finds in it an
approach to his son and the strength for a second marriage.
Wishing My Father Well is a moving intergenerational memoir in the spirit of
James Prosek's Joe and Me and James Dodson's Faithful Travelers that passes down
the wisdom of a silent father--an unprepossessing man who was "closer to nature
than the rest of us"--and opens our eyes to fly-fishing's seductive power to
unite people in a shared appreciation of the majesty and serenity of nature.
