Castworks: Reflections of Fly Fishing Guides and the American West

Rating:
Summary: Wonderfully illustrated with black/white photographs
Review: The collaborative effort of writers Kirk Deeter, Andrew Steketee, and photographer Liz Steketee, Castwork: Reflections Of Fly Fishing Guides And The American West is a unique and remarkable book about thirteen people who intimately know the best fly-fishing for thirteen different American rivers. Wonderfully illustrated with black/white photographs throughout, and featuring candid portraits of the people who know and love fishing as a true joy in life, Castwork is a fine coffee-table book for devoted anglers that is as much fun to browse through as it is to learn from. Castwork is especially recommended for anyone setting forth to fish the waters of the Bighorn River, Colorado River, Snake River, San Juan River, Missouri River, Silver Creek, Yellowstone River, South Platte River, Green River, Beaverhead River, Roaring Fork River, or Henry's Fork of the Snake River.

Summary: Wow! Take me to the river...
Review: This is a classy book. If you aren't learning, you aren't reading. If you don't enjoy the view, you aren't looking. In Castwork, we have a great fly fishing document -- one that looks beyond the tourist veneer and puts you on the water with the people who literally live to fly fish, and fish to live. This book is honest and enlightening, and at the same time, it cuts to the core of authentic American character. Like Ruark or Capstick put you on the African hunt, these guys float you down the best rivers in the American West with clean prose. If you can't wait for your next fly fishing adventure, Castwork will hold you over ...

Review: Unlike any book I have seen, "Castwork" puts you as close to being on the river as possible without getting your feet wet. The authors clearly know their stuff. It is a great read and informative without the attitude. And the b/w photos are awesome.
