Book Review by Dwight Phillips
Anthony Route opens up a whole New World of fishing as he
educates readers about the tools and tactics of taking Alaska's many different fish
species on the flyrod. I would go so far as to say that this book should be required
reading for any flyrod-equipped angler planning an Alaskan trip. I would also
recommend it for those who've yet to make up their minds to go. The information
contained in this book will help the first-time flyfisher as well as the seasoned
professional in Alaska. It will allow any angler to approach their experience being
much better prepared with the proper tackle, flies and enthusiasm to meet their quarry.
 Individually, species by species, Route gives first hand
accounts of his experiences with Alaska's gamefish. His stories are filled with personal
anecdotes and detail. He covers the techniques from fishing for Alaska's majestic
king salmon to the beautiful arctic grayling. Each chapter includes a map of the general
area, seasonal timing info and the proper equipment and flies to use in each instance. He
even has a chapter on flyfishing Alaska's saltwater.
 Route
was a prolific flyfisher as well as an author,
photographer and flyfishing guide. He has worked throughout the
state. He was a year-round resident of Alaska residing in Anchorage. He was also the author of the
companion book to this one (Flies For Alaska, A Guide To
Buying and Tying ) I couldn't help but feel the author's obvious love for this
incredible country and the fishing opportunities it affords.
