Reason for Writing It I wrote this book because there was a need for it. Sure; there were plenty of books out there that told the reader where to fish. And there just as many that told the reader how to fish. Many dealt with fantastic places and ignored fantastic prices. Not a one of them considered the first-time angler and the myriad responsibilities that confronted him or her. Fishing Alaska is one thing. Getting there is another. No one ever linked the two together in sequence. I did. And I did it with tips and advice to allow the average fisherman to take a dream and turn it into a reality. I’d been there and I’d done that. And what I learned, I shared. That’s why I wrote it. Description Alaska Fishing On A Budget is a softbound book. It measures 6 by 9 inches. There are 16 chapters and 111 pages. There are over 70 photos and illustrations and all are in full color. Fishing tables that define roadside opportunities tell you where you to go and when. A full-page map that illustrates these roadways is there as well. From the Table of Contents and to the Index, it is all complete. There is neither a single phone number nor a single address listed, for these things change. Instead, the book is devised with information and instruction on how the reader can use a computer keyword search to gain timely data that will lead to a successful catch. Face it. It's an electronic age. The information highway that will assist the reader to the best deals and where the fish are is also electronic. I'll show you how to utilize it and take full advantage of it. It's that simple. Price: $14.95
