‘Lefty’ Kreh, the “Michael Jordan” of fly fishing, says: “This is a charming story almost any fisherman will enjoy. It’s well told, full of suspense, and is the stuff fishermen’s dreams are made of.”

Rick Crecraft's The Monarch of Tall Pines Pool takes readers deep into wilderness for an adventure of a lifetime. The story centers around a quest by a grandfather and grandson for one massive, legendary brook trout Gramps discovered upstream from his cabin. When not searching for their elusive quarry, Gramps and Jeff enjoy hiking, camping, canoeing and climbing in the Adirondack Mountains. Along the way, they and the reader meet beaver, bear, loon, osprey and other interesting wild animals.

The Monarch of Tall Pines has educated, excited and entertained readers of all ages. Providing a welcome escape for the nature-lovers in us all, the book has inspired readers to seek out more outdoor adventures. The author hopes his story will

reawaken your inner-child to the wonders of nature,
inspire you to pursue the continued joys of reading,
inspire you to gift more books to family and friends (we all love surprises!), and
rejuvenate you, as if you've enjoyed a much-needed vacation - breathing scented mountain air, treading cushioned trails along crystalline streams, while lulled by the rustling of a thousand trees.

About the Author

Rick Crecraft grew up in a beautiful suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a boy, he enjoyed barefoot summers netting turtles, tadpoles, fish, snakes and frogs from nearby ponds. These adventures, and those at Maine’s Camp Kieve and Put Stowe’s Adirondack camp, provided inspiration and content to this story. Fishing the Florida Keys and reading ‘Sports Afield’, ‘Outdoor Life’ and ‘Field and Stream’ further sparked this book’s writing.
