 (From
the back cover) Ken Marsh will take you on a fly-fishing adventure as only a
native who has lived and fly-fishing his entire life in Alaska can.
You won't find a catered, cozy fly-fishing camp with protective,
professional guides in these stories. Instead, you'll join Ken and his
sometimes crazy, always interesting friends as they fly-fish through the
season in the real Alaska. Through it all, they're on a search for
solitude, for the untrammeled, and for a place where angler and fish can
meet in one moment that can't be taken back or forgotten. It's the
same search all fly-fishers are on, but the scale is, like the state itself,
much grander than most of the Lower Forty-eight.Ken Marsh is the
former outdoors editor, managing editor, and editor-in-chief of Alaska
Magazine, where he also created the award-winning "Hindsight" column.
 "In
a sense, to think of Ken Marsh's new book as a collection of fly-fishing
stories is to do it an injustice. Of course, there are plenty of
flies and plenty of fish, but Marsh's scope is far grander. The true
subject of Breakfast at Trout's Place is Alaska, and in Marsh's
hands fly rods become instruments for exploring the mystery and allure of
the Far North as no one has managed to before. The results of
Marsh's totally captivating voyage of discovery is one of the most
thoughtful studies of this enigmatic region ever to appear in print."
--E. Donnall Thomas, Jr. author of Whitefish
Can't Jump and
Dream Fish and Road Trips
"Knowledge and writing skill don't always go hand-in-hand, but in
Breakfast at Trout's Place they meet perfectly. Ken Marsh grew
up in Alaska, so he know's what he's talking about, and his writing will
put you there, among the trout and salmon and bears who inhabit wild
Alaska.
--John Barsness, author of
