A Right must for Kenai Area Fishermen,
If there ever was a perfect recipe for an area fishing guide, this is it. Gorgeous photos, fantastic maps, fantastic tales that bring the areas alive and just plain fantastic advice. Atcheson, has made the mold that I wish others would follow for the other states and regions I fish. He covers the total gamut of the Kenai Peninsula, not exhaustively, but by picking a handful of representative locations, fishing styles and target species. Then he gives away his fishing secrets like an ancient and trusted fishing buddy. In fact in his intro he says the book’s first objective is to tell you where to fish. He claims to do this to improve his fishing Kharma, and I hope it is working.
He doesn’t spell out exactly what hole to drop which lure into, but he does give some fantastic suggestions based on fishing, scenery, and wilderness experience. And in an area where 90 percent of the fishermen are going to 10 percent of the fishing areas, he gives some fantastic alternatives to being shoulder to shoulder on the Russian or lining the Kenai. He does cover those areas well, but he suggests other options like hiking up to the Russian Lakes and fishing their outlets for trout.
Whether you are a tourist plotting a trip to the Kenai or a resident of South Central Alaska, you should get this book. It has a lot of fantastic area experiences that get overlooked in the shadow of the Kenai, the Russian and the saltwater charter fishing options. Try one of his hike in float tube lakes some time.

|More than an exceptional & useable guidebook–its a fantastic read,
I read the book while on vacation in Mexico and found myself thirsting for the clean waters of Alaska. The author is obviously a devout fisherman. Woven throughout the book are comments, observations and small essays that address the intangable elements of fishing that can result in a like of the sport. Atcheson has not forgotten what the essence of fishing is all about and he can be downright poetic at times. This is not to imply that vital plotting details and valuable local knowledge is polished over. On the contrary, Atcheson hits all the bases and offers many fishing techniques, super maps, and detailed in rank on many silent out of the way trout and salmon hang-outs and the large rivers. This book is educational and packed with advice and seasonal in rank that is applicable and unique to fishing in Alaska. A really excellent book that delivers years of local knowledge and a surpass understanding of life below the surface.

|Fantastic Book,
I picked up a copy of this book when I was on vacation in Alaska fishing the Kenai. First off, the author is an execellent outdoors writer and really makes you wish you were there. As far as fishing info, the book gives a fantastic overview of the most productive techniques (which are used by practically every guide in the area) used to catch each type of salmon and trout in the area. It gives excellent in rank about all the local rivers, streams, and lakes,and most importantly timing in rank on salmon runs and most productive trout periods. The first section on Lake Fishing is a bit more geared toward local anglers with access to a canoe, but I would definately recommend this book for anyone plotting a fishing trip to the Kenai Peninsula.
