Synopsis
To cast a fly on high country waters in the West is to be part of an angling tradition that stretches back over a hundred years. First published in 1988, John H. Monnett's Cutthroat and Campfire Tales brings that heritage alive with its stories of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century fishing expeditions. To the nineteenth-century angler, the West's resources appeared inexhaustible -- there seemed to be as many cutthroat trout in the rivers as there were stars in the sky. Monnett shows how the error of that assumption became all too quickly apparent, and also traces how the inevitable depletion of the trout led to early stocking efforts and changing attitudes toward conservation.
