Calling After Water is a collection of essays from fly angler extraordinaire and accomplished writer Dave Karczynski, and follows this general narrative arc: writer falls in love with fly fishing, gets to travel the world, realizes that travel satisfies the soul only so much, and comes home to his heart in the Midwest. In the first piece, he buys his first fly rod. In a piece near the book's end, he buys a trout camp. The collection's narrative span is ten years, and adventure locations include Wisconsin, Michigan, Alaska, Chile, Argentina, India, Labrador, Ontario, and Poland.
