Holy Ghost Creek

Frank D Weissbarth is an assistant attorney general for the state of New Mexico.

"A small gem of a book that will appeal to anyone who's spent a good (or not-so-good) day alone plying the water in a beloved stream." "A lyrical and contemplative memoir on fly-fishing in New Mexico. . . A beautiful tibute to the gentle art of fly fishing." "At its heart the book is a hymn to nature and well worth your time. You may even get a few tips on where to fish, in solitude, in northern New Mexico." "Frank Weissbarth's beautifully written fishing memoir evokes the private pleasures and the mystery of angling in small streams. . . a celebration of the joys of small steams and quiet adventures." "Frank Weissbarth's book, which reads like a memoir as it spans years spent fishing alone and then with two growing boys in tow, is much like the rare trout he seeks in the Jemez Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo range: unique and beautiful." "If you already love Northern New Mexico's streams, reading Frank D. Weissbarths book "Holy Ghost Creek" will make you want to go fishing so badly you will squirm in your seat. . . Clear, honest writing that has none of the chest thumping machismo that plagues so much sporting literature." "Just as many things float down a stream, this book has anectdotes about family, friends and the enjoyment of nature. It is also a book with philosophical undertones. You don't have to be an angler to understand or enjoy this book. Weissbarth touches on certain elemental truths, which are applicable in situations common to us all." This slender, well-crafted gem of a book reveals at once the author's search for inner peace and trout on the streams of northern New Mexico. . . Not a guidebook, this heartfelt tome will be joy and an inspiration to any New Mexico fly fisherman."
