This book has just come out. Michael Graybrook is the author and is a Pittsburgh guy.
It is about a fly fisher , who a little more than a decade began a fascination with native trout. I believe catching a redband in CA began the odyssey and it continued will Cutthroat.
This book tells some personal experiences in finding streams with populations of Cutthroat- most of which are down gravel roads for dozens of miles then require a few mile hike to get to the streams. These populations range from NM to WA states. It is not easy to cover that much ground.
It seems a little silly when your emotions turn from hopeful and optimistic when you start your journey to anxious and to a little fear ( after you drive 2000 miles and study maps all winter , talk to the state and federal biologists about a population of Cutthroat, then arrive to dry stream beds).
Anyway- I can relate to all of the stories as I share a similar quest for native trout of America.
Here is an interview from drake mag- http://www.drakemag.com/drakecast/1892-the-drakecast-fly-fishing-podcast-24-tom-bie-dave-karczynski-michael-graybrook.html
The book has stunning photos of the Cutthroats and has a little story that goes with each one. Finished the book in 2 days.
If your a native fish head, you’ll surely love it.
