Book excerpt: What was to be a summer hoot turned to an extreme passion for very, very large Rainbow Trout. The years past, the memories mounted, the photos with Sports with huge Trout, priceless. When it's over and the years catch up and ravage your body, it might be time to put pen to paper and remember all those wonderful people, the flying machines, Trout, bears, and the best luck life has to offer. Alaskan Trout People is a love story, an adventure story, a story of great successes, with colorful, fun people, happy, happy, happy. Every day, you're in a Pump Boat, floatplane, raft, exploring the wilderness waters of back-country Alaska. River Guide's life was dedicated to his Sports' successes on his Trout waters. He has a very colorful family of Trout People. Bad Dude, Slope Girl, Cheeseburger, Chief Carl, ya gotta love 'em all. This is a story about the ups and downs of life (98 percent ups). The everyday dynamics of a bush world are lots of challenges and lots of work. The Moo Dudes, Mr. Jerry, the Preacher were all wonderful people who became family. It was important to the author to write about all those years of Alaskan Trout People. It's a book about family and very, very large Rainbow Trout.
