Beskrivning

In this collection of essays about well-known (and some not-so-well-known) Western waters—John Day River steelhead, the Deschutes and its headwaters, the Sandy, Klickitat, and Columbia Rivers, the Olympic Peninsula, trout fishing in Idaho and Montana, to name a few—author Tom Alkire blends how-to, where-to, and natural history with lyrical prose and a deep insight that only comes with knowing a place well.

Recensioner i media

In Western Waters, Tom Alkire has given voice to the region’s rivers so that one not only hears the loud splash of a jumping steelhead, but also the soft song of a meadow lark or a deer stepping lightly out of thick brush along their banks. Take your time and enjoy every page with Tom as he takes you on a wonderful trip along his favorite waters, from the Pacific Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
