River's Edge is a celebration of trout streams in northern Pennsylvania and upstate New York, as well as the landscape through which they pass. In each chapter, Franklin paints an intimate portrait of a stream, recounting his own fly-fishing adventures there while discussing its cultural and natural aspects. Ever watchful for rising trout, the author shares with us his deep understanding of the riverine environment – how fish, fly and all other living things are intertwined, including us. The result is a wealth of knowledge about thirty rivers and smaller waters, underscored by passion, humor and insight.

The essays in STREAMWALKER'S JOURNEY are a celebration of the fly-fishing life, with a focus on the triple divide of watersheds in north-central Pennsylvania and upstate New York: the Genesee River, the Allegheny River, and Pine Creek. These are among the author's favorite trout streams, plied over decades so he knows them well. As he walks these waters with fly rod in hand, he delves into their natural history, local lore, and conservation efforts to protect them. He shares the methods and fly patterns he uses to tease trout into striking, while occasionally telling tales of anglers past and present. But most of all, Walt Franklin writes with skill, passion, and a touch of humor about his experiences on these trout streams as well as his interactions with the natural world at large.

Science & Math

Nature & Ecology

In this collection of personal essays, the author describes the flora and fauna he encounters while plying some of his favorite trout streams in the Mid-Atlantic states, New England and the American West. Walt Franklin is as much a bird watcher and amateur naturalist as he is an avid fly fisherman, with a strong desire to protect the lands he has walked and the waters he has fished for decades. Wings Over Water is a blend of fishing tales, folklore, natural history, and riverine ecology. It is also a lighthearted narrative that turns poetic whenever the wild comes into full view.
