FS 114 - A River Runs Through It: The Literature and Craft of Fly Fishing

The intent of this seminar is to introduce students to the rich literature and passionate practice of fly fishing. Classic novels and short stories will be illuminated through an interdisciplinary exploration ranging from film to biology, entomology, fly tying, poetry, and fly casting. In the process we will contemplate questions of philosophy, politics, class, gender, science, religion, life cycles, and the serious pursuit of leisure. The seminar will include some field work; you may get wet.

Credits: 4 cr.
