The Alaska Chronicles

I guided in Alaska for seventeen seasons and this is the most honest description I've ever read about what it's like to wake up in stinking wet waders and go to work with a smile on your face.

Equal parts reflective wilderness journal, wry comedy, and document of a transient micro-culture, The Alaska Chronicles blows the romance and myth out the door and stands in a category of its own as a glimpse into life from the guide's point of view.

A lot has already been said about this title, so I'll just add this: The Alaska Chronicles is the best fly fishing book I've read in a long time. Every punk-ass guide wannabe should read this book. Every civilian fly fisherman with midlife-crisis dreams of getting away from it all should read this book. If the closest you'll ever come to fishing in Alaska is via the pages of a book, this is an excellent choice to get there.

This book is raw, funny, hard, inspiring and essential. No doubt it will serve as a badge of honor on fly-fishers' bookshelves for generations to come. Let's just say when it comes to fly-fishing, Miles Nolte puts the cult in culture.

The Alaska Chronicles may be fly fishing's highest calibre of Internet-to-book publishing so far, proving that awash in the waves of the web, relevant and viable reading swims in the mix. In the meantime, I don't see anyone "tweeting" reads this good anytime soon.

Bald with honesty, frequently on the edge, technically accomplished, and willing to take risk--we need more writers like Miles Nolte.

This is more than just the tale of a guide's journey through an Alaskan fishing season. I found myself drawn back by the words I was reading. Words on a page, just like these, but put together so eloquently that they could provoke an average Joe fly fisherman into pondering deep, philosophical thoughts. Thoughts he has no business pondering. Like Gierach, just better.

Just when the idea of the "alternative occupation" seems to have lost its center, along comes Miles Nolte who risks dignity and normalcy to give us a guileless narrative of life as an Alaskan fishing guide. Nolte's equitable but unsparing take on guides, clients, and his own foibles is as engaging as any book of its kind.

With the power of a wader wafted fart, Miles accurately delivers us the everyday life of an Alaskan fly fishing guide. The Alaska Chronicles is a must-read for those who really want know what happens on the rivers and tributaries of Bristol Bay.

Forget about lilting odes to delicate fish. The Alaska Chronicles is a hard-edged look at the outfitting business, stripped of all the hype and glamour. Direct, forceful, and engrossing, it offers a glimpse into a fly fishing life few have seen, and even fewer would endure.
