Better Off Wet is a tour of America's fishing hotspots through the lens of award winning writer and itinerant businessman Keith Foxe. It centers on a fifteen year quest to catch a trout in a small stream in Pennsylvania that has become hallowed ground among a group of quiet, but obsessed fly anglers. The fishing journey starts in the literary "brat pack" days of New York publishing. The journey continues to the West Coast, San Francisco in the the dot-com boom of the new millennium, providing a front row seat in the company of media moguls and venture capitalists, along with portraits of anglers, philosophers and American characters of the outdoors. Each chapter is encapsulated with wisdom down through the ages from St. Augustine and Gurdjieff, to Lee Wulff and Adam Corrolla.
