Don Crane's Floating Alaska! Planning Self-Guided Fishing Expedition (Clear & Simple Guides) is truly a book from a pro. Though fishing Alaska on a float trip sounds like all fun, don't be fooled into thinking it can be done without a lot of planning. The author draws from his experience as a wildlife expert and as one who has taken this trip to give you all the details you need to have a successful venture. Better yet, Don gives you tips on how to keep this trip economical. It is a "must read" book if you are planning any trips similar to this.
