(From the back cover of the
book) A clear and simple guide. Alaska is a dream destination
for many fishermen, but with this book those dreams can now come
true. Don Crane takes a complicated topic and breaks it down so
that anyone can plan a self-guided float trip for an extremely
reasonable price. Crane covers: preparation; gear; camping; food;
fishing; wildlife; resources and services; and so much more. If you
and your buddies have always fantasized about an Alaskan fishing
adventure,
 Floating Alaska! will tell you everything you need to
know for a productive, inexpensive, and organized trip.
 Don
Crane grew up in Colorado in a family that loves the outdoors.
After a 32-year career as a District Wildlife Manager with the
Colorado Division of Wildlife, Don and his wife Mary moved to Cody,
Wyoming where he books worldwide hunting and fishing trips. He has
also guided fly-fishermen in the Cody area.
In addition to his Alaska river adventures, Don has floated rivers
in Alberta and British Columbia, plus numerous rivers in the
western states.
