Synopsis

The Colorado, the Snake, the Missouri, the Bighorn — each of these great western rivers conjures images of catching beautiful trout under big open skies. This book is a thoughtful and candid portrait of 13 of the best fly-fishing guides in the West, offering a unique view of river life through the eyes of those who live there. From the South Platte to Henry's Fork, the rivers and fish these guides know are all depicted through stunning black and white photography and the guides' unique perspecitves, capturing the essence of their adventurous lifestyles and illustrating how men and women can be shaped by the landscapes around them. The 13 guides featured are Dan Stein (Bighorn River), Terry Gunn (Colorado River), Patty Reilly (Snake River), John Flick (San Juan River), Pete Cardinal (Missouri River), Dave Faltings (Silver Creek), Tony Fotopulos (Roaring Fork River), Rusty Vorous (Yellowstone River), Pat Dorsey (S.
