This exciting ramble among the remote and beautiful mountains, lakes, and rivers of around Alaska's Bristol Bay is full of encounters with bears, caribou, and other wildlife. But the heart of the book is Dickerson's exploration of native trout, river ecology, and the joys of experiencing wild places and fish by casting flies among them. This volume focuses on rivers and lakes in Alaska's Bristol Bay drainage, and on the native fish that inhabit those waters, from the abundant sockeye salmon species to the Salvelinus genus, which includes the stunningly beautiful Dolly Varden char as well as its cousin the Arctic char, the northernmost freshwater fish species in the world. Although the book explores some of the environmental threats facing these waters, the stories are also full of hope, delight, and awe. Though not a science text, it is well-informed by science as well as by the author's careful eye. The book also includes photographs by Alaskan bush pilot Glen Alsworth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: The Salvelinus, the Sockeye, and a Diverse Watershed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue: How Stories Change Us 21.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlaska’s Salvelinus at the End of a Line: A Note from an Author and Angler: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Primer on Char 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Geography and Scope: The Bristol Bay Drainage 182.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spawning Sockeye: Abundance and Diversity in the Bristol Bay Drainage\t\t\t\t 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Of Sockeye and Caddisflies, Both in Great Numbers\t 26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Importance of Geologic and Genetic \t     Diversity: A Conversation with Dr. Schindler\t 313.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e First Encounters with Bristol Bay, Alaska’             s Salvelinus, \tand the Egg-Sucking Leech\t\t\t\t 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Foul Hooked 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Egg-Sucking Leech 52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beautiful but Tragic Life of a North American Immigrant 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Way to Study Char 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Photographs 64-72\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: The Salvelinus, the Sockeye, and a Diverse Watershed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue: How Stories Change Us 21.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alaska’s Salvelinus at the End of a Line: A Note from an Author and Angler: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Primer on Char 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Geography and Scope: The Bristol Bay Drainage\t 182.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spawning Sockeye: Abundance and Diversity in the Bristol Bay Drainage 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Of Sockeye and Caddisflies, Both in Great Numbers\t 26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Importance of Geologic and Genetic Diversity: A Conversation with Dr. Schindler 313.\tFirst Encounters with Bristol Bay, Alaska’             s Salvelinus, \tand the Egg-Sucking Leech\t\t\t\t 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Foul Hooked\t 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Egg-Sucking Leech 52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beautiful but Tragic Life of a North American \t     Immigrant\t 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Way to Study Char 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Photographs 64-72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part II: Days on the Water: Experiences of Abundance and Diversity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 4.
