What is leadership? There are probably as many definitions of leadership as there are different types of trout flies. And each definition tends to be fit for the specific situation and context a leader is facing. The same is true for which fly to use. It depends on the condition of the water, the weather, the time of year, the temperature, and various other factors. No one leadership approach fits every situation, just as there is no one fly for all conditions.Yet we know good leadership when we see it. Just as we know a good fly angler we meet on the river.

There are many people with leadership roles and titles; President, Prime Minister, CEO, Congressman, City Councilor, Physician, Head Nurse, School Teacher, Parent. Yet the majority of people in the world sense a leadership vacuum. Why? What are we looking for in our leaders? I believe some of the answers lie in the principles described in this book.We can find leadership displayed on the battlefield, the baseball field, the classroom, the operating room, and the Boardroom. And if asked, I believe they would all say that fishing, and fly fishing, in particular, helped build and solidify their character, courage, and leadership skills.As far as I am concerned, fly fishing provides almost instantaneous feedback; and plenty of it. Every cast gives feedback, every snag of a drifting nymph, every fly hung up in a tree,
