Throughout the book, find detailed fly fishing maps that reveal points of history, boating landmarks, and access to the natural history and beauty of this area. Here is a clear understanding of the complex and fascinating fifteen miles of emerald clear, big water coursing below the huge sandstone cliffs that start the Grand Canyon. Every fly angler has heard about it: a mind-boggling place that can offer forty-trout days. Master guide and longtime Marble Canyon resident Dave Foster gives tips for fly and spin fishing, and also helps us marvel at the land. He reveals points of history, boating and geologic landmarks and where to look for wildlife. Dave also describes the settlement of Lee's Ferry and the canyon lands of northern Arizona. All this with photos, illustrations and maps. This book is a huge contribution to fly fishing and a step forward in the ongoing chronicle of the fascinating river, its storage and the crossing that has served as a "historical funnel" of western migration. For over 20 years Dave Foster has boated, explored and guided anglers on the water coursing between the huge sandstone cliffs that start the Grand Canyon.
