Most fishing books are written by experts in piscatorial arts, but Charles Zucker admits from the outset that he is no master fisherperson. A Fisherman's Journey is the wonderful chronicle of Zucker's lifetime of fishing adventures from angling for perch in northern Wisconsin as a small child to fly fishing for arctic grayling as a senior citizen in northwestern Montana. He recalls seven decades of fishing experiences in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Minnesota, Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, and Montana, and he recounts his evolution from spin casting with live bait and lures to fly fishing. Fisherman's Journey is about much more than fishing. Zucker realized that even more wonderful than the productive days he had on the water were the adventures that he had and the people he met along the way. He hopes by sharing his experiences with readers, he will encourage them to think about their own fishing journey.

This book is targeted primarily towards the North American fly fisherman, and those around the world interested in experiencing the wilds of Alaska.
