“Santella delivers a raw, honest, and gritty story. This novella is the most significant written work on fly fishing since that other novella was released 50 years ago.”

– Kirk Deeter, author of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing and editor of TROUT and Angling Trade magazines

“Belgian Flats provides an entertaining peek behind the curtain of what guide life is about. From the characters we meet and work with to the questions we all ask ourselves, this book hits home with a great balance of humor and insightfulness.”

– Kevin Main, co-owner of Tongass on the Fly

“Belgian Flats may be the most accurate portrayal of the ‘all-in’ fly-fishing life that’s ever been written, an anti-thesis to romanticized versions of the sport.”

– Greg Thomas, regular contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Field & Stream, Alaska, and Gray’s Outside

“A wonderfully humorous journey of the life of a fishing guide. This tasty novel with all of its humor and insight into the world of a fly-fishing guide will keep you laughing.”

– Conway X. Bowman, author of The Orvis Guide to Beginning Saltwater Fly Fishing and host of numerous fly-fishing programs, including Fifty Places to Fly Fish before You Die
