Book Synopsis
In 1975, Sam Candage, a fatherless twelve-year-old boy with learning challenges, strains to learn to read and write. Alone, he finds solace in nature, fishing and exploring his favorite creek. Sam finds himself falling behind in school until he meets a wise and kind man who, through the sport of fly fishing, teaches him about biology, stewardship, conservation, and the true meaning of friendship. When the mentor teaches Sam how to read, the boy's life is changed forever.
The Sage of Dibbin Creek is an engrossing account of Sam's coming of age.
Review Quotes
A heartwarming tale of a young boy's journey, guided by an unexpected friendship with a local fly fisherman. This story captures the essence of resilience, growth, and the enduring power of human connection-a must-read that I recommend for both anglers and non-anglers alike.

Dibbin Creek is a touching, compassionate chronicle that reminds us of the value of mentorship in our lives. It is destined to be a classic in understanding the healing qualities of flyfishing and the outdoors. An incredible story.
