About the Author - Earl James (Jim) Crawford:Ever see one of those fly fishers on the lake who clearly knows what he's doing? Someone who is totally at home on the water, casts beautifully and always catches a fish? Ever had the urge to anchor next to him in the hope of picking up some tips or techniques? Or how about actually looking in his fly box, picking up his rod or peering over his shoulder to get a better feel for what he looks for out there? Well, here's your chance. All of Jim's books give clear descriptions on "how to do it...successfully."Jim Crawford has been a passionate fly fisher for over 60 years, and is a freelance writer and renowned photographer. He is the author of Salmon to a Fly, co-author of The Gilly (Canada's all-time best-selling book on fly fishing), Fly Fishing Canada from Coast to Coast to Coast, Fly Fishing British Columbia, and now in 2012 Trophy Trout to a Fly: Fly Fishing for Trophy Trout in Northwestern Lakes. He also has contributed articles and photos to many outdoor publications. Jim lives in Polson, Montana on his own private lake that is full of big trout and largemouth bass.
