Amazon.com
For anyone in North America (and elsewhere) who is hooked on fly-fishing and pursues it past the initial stages of tangled lines, spontaneous river dunkings, and emptied bank accounts, there is one goal that dangles with a tantalizing glimmer just out of reach--the golden ring that spurs anglers on to perfect a variety of tricky casts, study entomological texts deep into the night, and wade through sleep with visions of lurking grizzlies, monster rainbows, and rivers paved with salmon. That ultimate goal is the final frontier of earthbound territory: Alaska, the angler's paradise. So if you dream of one day stepping off a bush plane somewhere in the Alaskan outback, you might as well start planning now with Dan Heiner's guide to the state's nearly limitless sport-fishing opportunities. Heiner's anecdote- sprinkled and info-packed guide takes a narrative approach to fly-fishing this vast area; his experience is related through stories as well as advice. Initial chapters include tips on equipment, travel, accommodations, and, of course, bears. But the real meat is about the fish and fishing: which species to chase, when and where to chase them, and how to bring them to net. And if that's not enough to set the gears in motion, the color photos are sure to leave you drooling...or dialing up Alaska Airlines stat. --Langdon Cook
From Library Journal
Outdoor writer Heiner aims to provide a guidebook for non-Alaskans who yearn to fish amidst the unspoiled splendor of the Great Land. He offers practical advice on what types of gear and flies to pack, traveling by bush planes to remote lodges, and the unpredictability of the weather. He also advises anglers on how to deal with bears and includes several accounts supporting the wisdom of leaving them alone. The largest section discusses specific areas and waterways, and the final part describes the numerous fish?primarily rainbow trout and several salmon species?and recommends strategies and techniques for catching and releasing them. Anecdotes and caveats based on the author's experiences add a personal touch. Recommended for large fishing collections.?Will Hepfer, SUNY at Buffalo Libs.
