The Optimist is a thoughtful, stylish ode to fly fishing—part how-to, part meditation, and entirely devoted to the pursuit. With wit and elegance, David Coggins reflects on the skills, rituals, and philosophy behind the sport, chronicling his journeys to Patagonia, the Catskills, the Bahamas, and beyond. Blending practical insights with personal essays, this book is a celebration of fly fishing’s beauty, challenges, and the quiet optimism it requires.
