Capt. Kathy's book, titled, On the Mother Lagoon: Fly Fishing and the Spiritual Journey, has been  released by Wish Publishing, and is available from Kingfisher, or from your favorite your book store.  Revolving around her own journey in learning to fly fish on the lower Laguna Madre, Kathy weaves principles of womens' psychology and yoga with a fresh, distinctly feminine approach to fly fishing. Quoting from her Epilogue, she says,
 

    "I realize that the longing to fish and the longing for stillness is the same. It's the union with God and God's creations that calls to me. It makes me ache in a way that can't be noticed by the untrained eye. But I know. It can't be lulled into acquiescence by a long nap, a good movie, or a glass of red wine.
 

    "Those moments between casts, when the fly gracefully glides through the air. Those moments between breaths, between thoughts. Those moments between fish caught and released. Those moments between visions and inspirations. Those are the moments where I come closer to knowing my Self. Big "S." The times when my self, little "s" is but a mere memory...
 

     "It's the union, the yoga, that drives us both outward and inward. It is in the practice, the doing, where we perceive perfection, the mastery. The road to mastery is long, and everchanging. To reach our goals, and come to know something of our Big "S's", we continue to sit in stillness, observing the breath going in and out. We continue to cast, and perfect our presentations. And with our lines tight, and our rods bent, we come closer to knowing God,  and acknowledging our Creator's presence not only within ourselves, but in our fellow anglers, and those delightful creatures that agree to dance with us on the end of our lines."
