<p>In 1994, Don Oliver took a leap of faith and moved his family from Texas to Colorado to became a fly fishing guide. Since then, he has gone bald, watched his mustache turn solid gray, developed patience, and started to write about fly fishing. The Joys of Being a Fly Fishing Guide includes short stories and rewritten columns that recap some of his most interesting days on the water. Some are pure fiction while others are based on fact, with a little bit of Don's definition of the truth added.</p>
