David Ladensohn presents his book, Fly-Fishing with Leonardo da Vinci. Written with the literate fly-fisher in mind, Ladensohn’s book is equally interesting and entertaining to people interested in Leonardo, the flesh and blood man: a gay, God-believing but not really Church-believing, intensely science-obsessed polymath whose art was as much about his interest in optics and physicality as it is about subject matter.

Combining his admiration for Leonardo da Vinci’s art with his extensive knowledge of fly-fishing, David discovered a unique connection between da Vinci’s water dynamics expertise demonstrating that he would make the ideal fly-fishing guide.
