The stories which make up the collection Dry Fly Gospel share the common theme of fly-fishing. The characters struggle with major life changes, and in many cases receive a certain amount of hope thanks to the Good News about fly-fishing (that it's good for you!). The stories include Dry Fly Gospel: Excerpts from the long-lost fishing journal of the disciple John (originally published in the Yale Anglers Journal); These Fishers Tell the Infirmities of Men (originally published in Kaleidoscope) in which war veterans recuperate from the worst wounds of all, those of the mind and soul; Attracted to Light, part epistle and part self-realization; and The One That Got Away (first published on flyfish.com), which is best described as X-Files meets fly-fishing. In between you'll find a fly-fishing nun, a confused grandmother, a tree of mythic proportions and a guide who solves dirty little problems like poor casting technique in a send-up of the hardboiled genre.
