Belgian Flats is the story of Cody, a fly-fishing guide whose career has hit a dead end after a dozen years guiding on a famed western trout stream. Codyâs mentor suggests that he take a job as a lodge manager at a prestigious Atlantic salmon lodge in northwestern Russia. The story follows Codyâs travels to the Kola Peninsula and his encounters with the characters who filter throughâfrom philosophizing oligarchs to Samà herdsmen who are not above kidnapping lodge staff to maintain control of their historic lands. Thereâs even a love interest. Belgian Flats provides an offbeat and humorous insiderâs view of the fly-fishing world that angling aficionados will appreciate.
