Great Sierra Waters, the Eastern Slope Available Now

Blazen’ Annie’s Abel and Me after a two-day field trial win.

 Great Sierra Waters, the Eastern Slope is a serious flyfishing book detailing three rivers, the Owens, the East Walker, and the Truckee.  I grew up here and fished them all since childhood and know the Truckee like maybe no other living person.  This book tells you about the rivers, how and what to fish on them and their histories as fisheries over the last 60 years.

In addition, it is a comprehensive look at the Truckee and its incredible background as maybe the best river on this continent in the early 1900’s.  But what is more important is the resurgence of its greatness as Lahontan Cutthroats from Pyramid Lake can now get upstream to spawn.  The last chapter tells how it can be done.  Don’t miss this important new book.  Available on Amazon 

What is important about all this is that Great Sierra Waters joins two other books I’ve released in the last two years. All the books are completely different in character.  Terminal Exposure is a classic fiction thriller set on the southern border complete with real world intrigue among multiple players.  From Mexico City to Sinaloa, from Sinaloa to El Paso, the power struggle between the Mexican Cartels is apparent to any sane person who lives in America today.  Terminal Exposure was written before the recent border activity takes place and chronicles the real-world ascension to power that has transpired there. And it’s a damn good story.           

Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces about fly fishing and upland bird hunting over the last 40 years in this country.  It is the story of the decline of the American West in our lifetime.   It is all the glitter, and all the gold, all the bitter and all the bold.  And lastly it is The Last Best Place, Montana, before it was discovered by an all-consuming world who can’t get here fast enough and can’t get enough of it when they get here…

And now, Great Sierra Waters joins the trilogy up to date informative books about today’s world, all different but all of them portrait the American West from a similar perspective.   Great Sierra Waters and Between Square Buttes tells the true story of a shrinking outdoors, while Terminal Exposure tells the awful truth of our southern border, seen in my lifetime face to face with the worst of all things, drugs and human trafficking. It’s fiction that feels real, as real as the cartels in your backyard.
