As he cast his fly into the writhing mass, Kaminsky felt a soul-to-soul connection with the world's greatest wildlife migration: the annual parade of fish and whales, butterflies and birds past Montauk Point. For twenty-five years, Kaminsky's daily chronicle of his month in one of fly fishing's greatest years has become a beloved classic. It is the story of one man's love affair with Montauk in the fall, after the crowds and celebrities have left the beaches and summer homes of eastern Long Island. It is the story of an ocean teeming with life, and the people drawn to it: obsessed anglers, jealous guides, dedicated scientists, and the local people who have lived off the bounty of these waters for twenty generations. But, above all, it is a story of people, nature, and our place in the living world. It will appeal to the many fans of Kaminsky's Outdoors column in the New York Times, his frequent work in Food & Wine, or to anyone hungering for fine writing.",

Overview
While fishing off Montauk Point one October evening, Peter Kaminsky watched in awe as the moon rose and thousands of striped bass exploded from the sea in a furious feeding frenzy. As he cast his fly into the writhing mass, Kaminsky felt a soul-to-soul connection with the world's greatest wildlife migration: the annual parade of fish and whales, butterflies and birds past Montauk Point.
For twenty-five years, Kaminsky's daily chronicle of his month in one of fly fishing's greatest years has become a beloved classic.
