Along with his fishing adventures, the book also looks at the geography, the early explorers of, and the modern-day impacts on the rivers themselves.

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.
