Description

It has been said by many anglers-'The worst day fishing is better than the best day working'. In fact, I have used the phrase a time or two myself when the waters of Alaska were beckoning. However, after a recent family fishing trip that nearly reduced the male population of my family by six members, work has taken on a sage and comfortable appeal. By profession, I am a rescue pilot in the state of Alaska, regularly saving people in peril. This line of work has never fallen into the catagories of safe and comfortable so as you might guess, this fishing trip story demands to be told.[From back cover].
