What
Others Say... The author first
told me about Kelly Creek and, as he puts it in this beautiful book, his unabashed love affair of 18 years, when he gave me
a ride to a scientific meeting in Montana. We talked about science and life, but most of all we talked about rivers and trout
fishing; there was pleasure in his eyes. I've never been to Kelly Creek, but I think I know a lot about this special place.
The author is a recognized scientist, but he doesn't try to impres the reader with a lot of Latin names of insects; in
fact, there aren't any! In this book are nearly two decades of memories of friends, of particularly good stream days,
and everything associated with those good days - not just fish. So, here's to Kelly Creek and here's to the Kelly
Creeks we all search for. Dave Penrose, Aquatic Ecologist. Cushing's admitted 18 year infactuation
with this stream is thoughtfully recounted in this book. Drawing from journals he kept, the author has reconstructed each
visit, from the first trip of discovery in 1981, to the nostalgic last trip in 1998. He lovingly recounts events, friends,
and the fishing. He writes in an easy and conversational style. Sharing his memories will bring back those of your own Kelly
Creek, past friends, and good times. All anglers have them and it does us good to recall them from time to time. Cushing knows
Kelly Creek, and he misses it. Austin Condon, U.S. Forest Service (retired ) and angler. About
the Author... Colbert E. Cushing is a retired stream
ecologist and avid fly fisherman. He has studied streams throughout the United States and Canada, including Alaska. He recently
co-authored the popular book Streams: Their Ecology and Life to help anglers, naturalists, conservationists, and other interested
laymen understand how streams and rivers function. He lectures widely to fly fishing clubs and student/teacher groups and
teaches summer courses in stream ecology at Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Parks.
