on the Pacific Northwest, Montana & Fishing

Recommended Books

I always recommend visiting your local independent bookstore (after all, buying a book is a political act), but the books I have underlined are available on Amazon (just click the title).

• David James Duncan's The River Why is a fantastic & imaginative story, as is his The Brothers K (but it's more about family & baseball than fishing). His others are on my wishlist -- River Teeth, a collection of short stories, & My Story as Told by Water, a collection of essays.
• The Habit of Rivers by Ted Leeson -- fly fishing in the Northwest
• Selective Trout -- a window into the intricate life of the river
• Gary Lafontaine's Caddisflies -- a detailed portrait &
  Dry Fly: New Angles -- his innovative theory of imitation
• Mayflies: Angler's Study of Trout Water Ephemeroptera
• Emergers -- understanding the hatch
• A.K's Fly Box -- for those who love to look at flies
• The Angler's Life: Collecting and Traditions -- focus on the angler
• Montana Fly Fishing Guide: West of the Continental Divide by John Holt -- Bob's favorite Christmas present
• Unforgettable Days: Montana Trout Fishing -- a lovely picture book
• Monte Dolack: The Works -- see montedolack.com for an idea of his playful & detailed work, done with obvious love for his big sky home
• The River's Voice -- a celebration, in poetry, of our relationship with water from UK-based Common Ground.
• Carl Hiaasen's Double Whammy -- just for fun
