Summary: Poor Scott Waldie
Review: Poor Scott Waldie. He is one of the gifted writers of our time but he has been relegated to the backwater of fly fishing stories. Not a huge potential audience there. Especially, not a large feminine audience (i.e., the ones who actually buy books). Furthermore, he doesn't compete well with Gerach and Holt in terms of, "and then I caught a 26 inch brown but Jack caught a 27 inch rainbow," which appeal to the guys who buy these books.
BUT
Waldie is alone in being able to weave together stories about a semi-fictional town with its visitors, part-timers, and residents that truly capture the good and bad about the popularization of the Northwest.
His stories would lose no relevance if he would write them using tennis, polo, or canasta as the common thread because they are really about people and how they interact. They expose the good and the bad and how they intersect in a delightful and thoughtful manner and in the process his writing flows with more memorable lines than you can count.
Hopefully, he will soon find an agent or publisher who will market him for the gifted writer that he is, rather than pushing him into an eddy that he cannot row out of (pardon the dangling participle).

Review: What a fantastic book. Didn't know wether to laugh or to cry most of the time. Being from Montana it makes me long to be back it the little town i came from. Waldie is able to truly capture the small town feel and make you feel like you are right there in the middle. Congrats again to Mr. Waldie
