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.
