Chris Dombrowski was playing a numbers game: two passions--poetry and fly-fishing; two children, one of them in utero; and an income hovering perilously close to zero.
But as Pinder\'s stories unfold, Dombrowski discovers a profound integrity and wisdom in the guide\'s life..
With cataracts from a lifetime of staring at the water and a tiny severance package after forty years of service, he watches as the world of his beloved boneFish is degraded by tourists he himself did so much to attract.
By the time Dombrowski meets Pinder, however, he has been abandoned by the industry he helped build.
He knows what the Fish think , said one fisherman, before they think it .
And no one was better at hunting them than Pinder, a Bahamian whose accuracy and patience were virtuosic.
BoneFish are prized for their elusiveness and their tenacity.
Thus began a journey that would lead to the Bahamas and to David Pinder, a legendary bonefishing guide.
Enter, at this particularly challenging moment, a miraculous email: can\'t go, it\'s all paid for, just book a flight to Miami .
