"Moving Water" ONE OF OUR FAVORITE fly fishing books of recent years is a collection titled Astream. Edited by Robert DeMott, former Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor of English at Ohio University, the book contains 30 essays by some of the finest writers and storytellers in the sport. "Moving Water," by Michael Keaton, is both reminiscence and tribute, and though Keaton wrote it when he was 37, it remains one of our favorite tales about the continuity that flows from generation to generation. MIDCURRENT AT IFTD: We talk to Howard Croston of Hardy about the brand's new reel lineup for 2020. Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie a Sunken Trico Spinner in this week's featured tying video. This pattern, notes Flagler, is "a mash-up of two patterns - one from Colorado great Ed Engle and the other from Pennsylvania fly fishing legend Charlie Meck, both advocates of sinking a trico spinner even with fish are still rising."
