Peter Kaminsky etched out a career as a journalist more than 35 years ago. He spent time working at the National Lampoon in its halcyon years and he wrote the Outdoors column in the New York Times for more than three decades. He’s contributed to Anglers Journal since the magazine’s inception and he’s penned a number of classic fishing books including “The Moon Pulled Up an Acre of Bass“ and the “Fly Fisherman’s Guide to the Meaning of Life.” His latest book, “The Catch of a Lifetime: Moments of Fly Fishing Glory,” is a collection of evocative stories on the joy of fly-fishing. In summarizing the book, he writes: “There are fish I have caught that I remember more fully than whole years of my life… At such moments, time, or its passage, seems to go away. To find something in this world that takes you out of time when the seconds cease to slip through life’s hourglass, is as close as I’ve come to a state of grace.”
