 Author Andrew Weiner and artist April Chu’s picture book Down by the River: A Family Fly Fishing Story is “an authentic, heartwarming story with a focus on family and togetherness” (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review).

One beautiful autumn day, Art sets out with his mother and grandfather for a fishing trip. Fishing days are Art’s favorite. He loves learning the ropes from Grandpa—the different kinds of flies and tackle and the trout that frequent their favorite river. Art especially appreciates Grandpa’s stories. But, this time, hearing the story about Mom’s big catch on her first cast ever makes Art feel insecure about his own fishing skills.

Then, as Art hooks a beautiful brown trout, he finds reassurance in Grandpa’s stories and marvels in the sport and a day spent with family, promising to continue the tradition with his own grandkids generations later.

Illustrated with lush imagery, Down by the River celebrates fishing, family, and fun.

I was so excited to have my Miss Mayfly wading pants delivered today! THEY FIT!!!I wear a size 10 - 11 in shoes, and I had plenty of space for my toes in the footie sock. I can sit in them and still breathe. The crotch doesn't hand down to my knees like I've had happen with other brands. They fit around my 19+" calves. I am over the moon thrilled about having gear that truly fits. The size chart is pretty on point with measurements and the spacing you will have.Thank you Miss Mayfly for making something for ALL the ladies!! I cannot wait to get out in the river and test these pants out!

Not only is this brand SUPER inclusive to all body types, but the customer service of this team is unrivaled. Unfortunately due to my calf size, I couldn't purchase this go around; but I will continue to check on any expansion is sizing.. The true definition of girl power; I love the concept so much and can't wait to see the new releases!

I LOVE my Miss Mayfly waders! They are very comfortable and the fit is perfect! I’m a petite woman, and finding something my size was a difficult. No more struggling with too-large booties that cramp my feet in my boots, no more boxy men’s waders with straps that touch the floor, no more searching for the perfect pair or waders, I have found them!

I am ecstatic! Finally chest waders that fit ME! Miss Mayfly's are designed by women for womenl. They thoroughly understand that some women have hips and thighs. Up to this point, us women have had to buy men's waders that are WAY too long in the legs and feet. These waders are so comfortable and roomy enough that I can put layers on for winter fishing and not feel like a stuffed sausage! Thank you Miss Mayfly for recognizing this frustration and for creating these! Can't wait to get them wet! Thank you also for shipping my replacement pair that fit perfectly in time for me to take them on our fishing excursion. Miss Mayfly, you've been fabulous to work with!! Can't sing your praises loud enough!!!

As a fat person, I have been struggling to find waders made to fit me until I found Miss Mayfly. Women’s waders made by women for ALL BODIES. Miss Mayfly designed a wader that is flexible, perfect foot size, fashionable, and you even catch fish in them! The most important part is I feel like I’m part of a family.
