243,95 kr. If you're ready to live as a diehard fly fisherman in the land of the midnight sun, you'd better be prepared to weather several long months of midnight. Set against the backdrop of a life spent in the latitudes of the Far North, follow the author as he casts about in search of arctic grayling, rainbow trout, and the ultimate truths in life. The author's existential pursuit of a "drag-free drift" borrows from the analogous concept in fly fishing, where one's line is mended as necessary to facilitate the fly's natural flow with the current. This book is targeted primarily towards the North American fly fisherman, and those around the world interested in experiencing the wilds of Alaska.
