It's great to see that so many others appreciate good books!! Sorry Corky,1000 recipies by Maryanne, is NOT a fishing book! Guess you"re stuck with Gilligian's book. Bet it"s not a threehour read-a three hour read. Steelhead Addict,yes the island has steelhead streams, self-sustaining hatchery stock, [skamania strain], single barbless hooks, no bait, 1 a day limit, for personal consumption. Current Drifter, if you like those books, check out Fish the Strong Waters by N.C. McDonald, and The Forty Fathom Bank by Les Galloway. B-Run Steely, like your choices!, check out anything written by Ted Leeson, or Bob Arnold. gotta go, check in later,read on brothers and sisters, unplug that tv!!!
