Book Report: The View from Coal Creek

The View from Coal Creek

I follow and read a good number of blogs from around the country. I typically follow these blogs for the photography, tying tutorials, fishing reports or a good story. Arguably one of the most well fly fishing written sites on the web right now is Mysteries Internal by Erin Block. So when Erin put together a book that chronicled her journey through making a bamboo rod, I pre-ordered without a second thought.

The View from Coal Creek did not disappoint. Erin’s voice came through the pages crisp and clear as she described not only the beauty of the bamboo fly rod, but also the journey that she took to get there. It is not enough to say that Erin is a talented writer. It goes far beyond that. She is a magnificent storyteller and I look forward to many more to come.

    I concur Ben. The cool thing is, if you like the book, you’ll love Erin. She’s smart, nice, funny, sweet and modest.

      That definitely comes across in her writing. Someday when I’m up in Colorado I hope to meet a bunch of you Colorado bloggers.

      It’s a great read and Erin is a heck of a writer. I’ll bring it next time I’m at CG and drop it off. Plus I still have “Colter” that you lent me that I need to get back to you. Great book by the way. Doesn’t happen often but it nearly brought me to tears.
