FLY FISHING

Chris Santella’s “Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $24.95) might be just the thing for the fly fisherman seeking to land the big one.

The book provides cultural and natural histories of Mongolia, the Florida Keys, and Armstrong’s Spring Creek in Montana, among other locations, as well as photos by renowned fly-fishing photographer Valentine Atkinson. Abroad, readers get a global tour of the fjords of Southern Chile, the rivers Dee and Tay in Scotland, and elsewhere. Highlighting 20 spots in America, the book recommends the best equipment to pack and the best time to travel.
