(From the back cover of the book)  "Women finally have their own book to unravel the mysteries of fly fishing Alaska, an angling paradise long regarded as a destination luring only men." - From the foreword by Lyla Foggia, author of Reel Women

Enter this fly fishing world with nationally known fly fisher Cecilia "Pudge" Kleinkauf as she guides adventuresome women going for salmon, trout, and other species at six of Alaska's best fly fishing destinations.

• Kodiak Island - Targeting the acrobatic silver (coho) salmon, the fly fishers explore productive coastal rivers on the "Emerald Isle."
• Talachulitna River - Pursuing the leopard trout, a fish of amazing beauty, women learn to fly fish on Alaska's first catch-and-release river.
• Tangles Lakes - Mastering the art of placing a dry fly perfectly in the "feeding lane," the fly fishers catch eager Arctic grayling.
• Brooks River - Fishing for sockeye salmon, the visitors keep a wary eye on thousand-pound brown bears pursuing the same objective.
• Aniak River - Catching Alaska's exquisitely colored char, the anglers also savor an exceptional wilderness experience.
• Float Tubing - Using personal watercraft for lake fishing, the women experience the fun of catching trout from their own "belly boat."

Fly Fishing Women is a unique combination of an adventure story, a gift book with more than one hundred color photographs, and a how-to-guide with fishing techniques, twenty of Alaska's best flies, and much practical information for planning the fishing trip of a lifetime.
