Synopsis "Nine Passes: Fly Fishing through the Past and Present of the High Sierra (Black and White)"

Nine Passes, Todd Bruce's deeply personal account of his 300-mile backpacking expedition through the Sierra Nevada, is informed by the author's vivid sense of history and enduring love of the land. Retracing the route of Charles McDermand, an outdoorsman and writer whose landmark 1946 travelogue The Waters of the Golden Trout Country sparked a national interest in the region, Bruce draws upon his fly fishing expertise and his keen familiarity with the land to illuminate the subtleties of the Sierra Nevada's flora, fauna, and topography. Bruce's five-week trek took him along McDermand's seventy-year-old route, where he hiked the back country, fished the lakes and streams, and climbed the high mountain passes of trailblazers past-one of whom was Bruce's great-grandfather, George R. Goldman. The trout waters he explores are those of McDermand, of George Goldman, and of Bruce's kin: Bruce's mother, father, and siblings, as well as his own young self, who fished those same glinting pools in the previous decades. Nine Passes is a collation of more than six decades of change in the Sierra fisheries, the story of a family, their bonds, and their memories, the techniques and practices of the fly fishing artistry, and the shifting human attitudes that have sculpted these granite-laden mountains. This edition features a black and white interior.
