An Angler's Guide to Aquatic Insects and Their Imitations for All North America 3 reviews
Rick Hafele, Scott Roederer
Spring Creek Press, 1995
The guide provides basic taxonomy for the layperson.
This guide allows an observant non-biologist to classify many nymphs, emergers and adult acquatic insects. Besides the book you will need a good pocket loup, a small net, a collection bottle and a complete lack of squeemishness. This book does much of the work of Schweibert's excellent Matching The Hatch in a far more basic and compact package. If you are a trout / steelhead fly-fisher ...

Wisdom for our relationship with horses and indeed our lives
I have so many wonderful things to say about this book and yet none of them do it justice. I've been a rider my entire life, mostly riding dressage, and this book really brought it all together for me. If you want a deeper relationship with your horse, and by that, I mean you really want to put in the mindfulness and discipline to really see what an amazing relationship you can have, then get ...

Very Good Book!
It is a very good book as I have found all of his are. Good reading no matter how long you have had horses or horse experience. His relaxed way of dealing with horses and training makes sense.

Flyfishing Alaska2 reviews

Spring Creek Press, 1995
Flyfishing Alaska
This is an excellent how to book for the fly fisherman going to Alaska. Each species of salmon and trout is covered with details concerning best time of year to fish, best fly patterns and what tactics will produce strikes. This is a how to fish rather than where to fish book although it does mention many areas worth investigating. I would suggest buying both this book and the book, Alaska ...

Mastering Pike on the Fly: STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES3 reviews
Barry Reynolds
Spring Creek Press, 2004
A must for all pike fisherman
As an oudoor writer myself and the host of both radio and television shows I am always looking for material to recomend. This book not only covers fly-fishing for pike, but gets to the core of pike behavior. Barry does an excellent job of explaining what pike are doing when and why. He covers water temperture, seasonal movement, the influence of structure, cover, baitfish and other predators. I ...

Pike on the Fly: The Flyfishermans Guide to Northerns, Tigers, and Muskies (Spring Creek Pr Bk)6 reviews
Barry Reynolds, John Berryman
Spring Creek Press, 1993
Think like a predator!
I had the privilege to work on a TV show called HIGH COUNTRY OUTDOORS with Barry the same year he and John wrote PIKE ON THE FLY. I devoured this book and still have it on my shelf in close reach. The techniques aren't just old hackneyed phrases but are true tested tactics gleaned from Barry's experiences. I know of no better way to understand the ways of flyfishing for pike and other large ...

River Girls: Fly Fishing for Young Women4 reviews
Cecilia Kleinkauf
Spring Creek Press, 2006
Absolutely must read!
So maybe I'm a little biased because I'm one of the girls in the book, but there is nobody better than Cecilia Kleinkauf to help teach girls how to fish. I had the priviledge of fishing with her in Alaska, and she really knows her stuff. I also read the book cover to cover and it is so informative and made me want to go out and fish right then! If you have a young girl and are trying to get her ...

Horses Never Lie: The Heart of Passive Leadership70 reviews
Mark Rashid
Spring Creek Press, 2000
wonderful book
Quite simply, I love horses, and I loved this book.
What Mark writes about horses and humans gets to the heart of what life's all about. If I was the CEO of a big company, I'd bring this cowboy in to talk horse with my upper management, let them figure out why. I relate to his idea of quiet leadership.
I've since read three of Mark's other books. All of them have something unique to say, ...

Breakfast at Trout's Place
Finally a truthful book about fishing in Alaska. Too often we hear of rivers, bays, and streams that are so thick with fish that you can walk from bank to bank without getting your feet wet. As an August / September visitor to the Wood River System in Dillingham, I experienced the pleasure of catching seven different species of fish ... but mainly the mighty silver salmon on the fly. It was ...
