 Best Advice Book! March 5, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am so glad to have found this book before taking my first fishing trip to Alaska. The author cuts right to the chase and tells you everything you need to know about salmon fishing: identifying, lures and bait, rods & reels, fishing etiquette, best salmon to eat, biting behavior, best locations, and how to process and take your catch back home. Not only this, but he also details how to pack and what to pack, transportation, and the things that are worth the extra dollar. I highlighted countless things while reading the book and will use it as my checklist for the entire trip and its preparation. It's a "must" for anyone planning a fishing trip to Alaska!
A must for those dreaming of fishing Alaska January 5, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is a must for anyone planning their first self-guided trip or to anyone who dreams about fishing Alaska. This book will definitely get you from just dreaming to making solid plans.
When I read this book I was amazed at how closely the authors first trips resembled mine. We both made the same mistakes, but luckily, I didn't come home with a freezer full of chum salmon. Amazingly, we also came to almost all the same solutions to the problems we encountered. Truly, if you are planning your first trip to Alaska and if you are going to do it yourself, get this book and learn from our mistakes. I'm sure that each year, there are hundreds of people who repeat the same mistakes we made. Twelve dollars here can teach you as much as several thousand-dollar trips taught me.
*The* Most Practical & Useful Guide on Alaskan Fishing! June 5, 2004
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an adventure story ... a personal journal ...about how one man has lived his dream to go fishing in the Great Wilderness of Alaska at a moderate cost. He shows how it is possible to make this "once in a lifetime" dream come true for anyone who is organized and an experienced fisherman. The author has made this trip every couple of years ... for about the past 20 years. This is a practical book, with lots of `dos and don'ts'. It is based on the author's "lived experience". It is a guide for the experienced fisherman who wants to have the ultimate fishing trip ... the one he has always dreamed about ... but believed it was out of reach due to cost.. The author describes everything you need to know about getting to Alaska, even flying there almost for free. He advises doing some internet research. He discusses fishing itineraries, camping, where to find the salmon, what equipment and fishing gear you need, and *most* importantly, how to get your "catch" home. This book has some of the best photos of Alaska fishing I have ever seen. He shares his `secrets' of fishing on a budget, detailing many specifics. It will help the reluctant fisherman overcome many possible hurdles they may face. The author even tells us about a few of his own `misadventures' to spare the reader from experiencing the same problems. This is one very handy and organized book for the person who wants to experience the last great frontier. It shows how with a strong committment and intelligent planning can make one's dreams can come true. A most highly recommended book.
