Finally a truthful book about fishing in Alaska. Too often we hear of rivers, bays, and streams that are so thick with fish that you can walk from bank to bank without getting your feet wet. As an August / September visitor to the Wood River System in Dillingham, I experienced the pleasure of catching seven different species of fish ... but mainly the mighty silver salmon on the fly. It was hard work, but each catch was well worth the effort. Ken Marsh has captured the true essence of the Alaskan fishing experience ... hard work, late nights, cold water, bears, eagles and also the experience that so many from the "lower 48" can only wish for.

As I return to Alaska this summer, I will use this volume as a guide to fishing areas, rod weights, and patterns. Ken has hit the pitching with this book ... a must read.
