Stoneflies & Turtleheads
A Maine Flyfisher's Misadventures
A Maine Flyfisher's Misadventures
by Denis 'Dee' Dauphinee
Stoneflies and Turtleheads is a collection of essays in which, for better or worse, he tries to explain away his lifelong obsession with fly fishing, all while attempting to touch on the sheer beauty of a proper roll cast, of the excitement of a rise, of the love of fishing for a wide variety of fish, of the dedication to the selfishness required in a life of adventure and of the simple romance and poetry of fly fishing. It’s a tall order.
 Denis Dauphinee
Denis "Dee" Dauphinee has been a farmer, photographer, orthopaedic physician's assistant, a climbing and fishing guide, and a writer contributing to several "small, almost unheard-of newspapers." He spent an entire decade wandering the earth, searching. For what, he didn't know. And everywhere he went, he fly fished...and usually got into some sort of trouble–or hurt–or both.
