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.

Tom Alkire has written about fishing, rivers, and the natural world for more than 30 years. In addition to a prolific freelance writing career, he spent three decades covering business and environment as a Northwest staff correspondent for Bloomberg BNA. His writing has been awarded by the Scripps Howard Foundation and the Newspaper Guild, among others. He is a frequent presenter at local fly fishing clubs and is the author of There’s More to Fishing (Than Catching Fish) and River Stories: Headwaters to the Sea. His essays have appeared in national and regional publications including Gray's Sporting Journal, Sporting Classics, Flyfishing and Tying Journal, Salmon Trout and Steelheader, and Willamette Week. He lives in Portland, Oregon and can be found at www.tomalkire.com.
