A sharp, funny, and unexpected journey into the world of fly fishing, identity, and second chances.

In Belgian Flats, author and angling writer Chris Santella tells the story of Cody, a burned-out fly-fishing guide whose life takes an unusual turn when he accepts a job managing a high-end Atlantic salmon lodge on Russia’s remote Kola Peninsula. What follows is a colorful, offbeat tale full of eccentric characters—oligarchs, reindeer herders, fellow guides, and unexpected love interests—as Cody navigates personal reinvention in a place where the fish are wild and the stakes are often stranger than fiction.

• Set in the surreal beauty of Russia’s Kola Peninsula

• Features vivid characters and behind-the-scenes views of the fishing lodge world
