Remember the old football play we had, Matt? Death on the fly?

We were wrong to call it that. Its never death that intimidates us. Its life.

Five years have passed for Matthew Blake since the events recounted in Life on the Fly. He has settled into his hometown of Hillcrest with a new wife and built a new career. But when a friend asks Blake to find the cause of a fatal car crash, neither knows that this search will uncover secrets buried throughout Ironwood County. As Blake seeks the truth, he will create some secrets of his own and risk losing all that he cherishesa home on a trout stream, his career, his family, and perhaps his own life.

Continuing the adventures of ex-football player and avid angler Matthew Blake, Catching the Stream is another suspenseful, intriguing, and poignant novel set among the unique characters of rural Ironwood County.

No one can catch a stream.

I suppose not, but for a moment, I hold a bit of it in my hand.
