Читать книгу Fly Fishing California - Ken Hanley - Страница 5

I’d like to show my gratitude to a few of my colleagues. Their talents and unselfish expertise are an integral part of this guide. Andy Burk and Scott Saiki are two of the most credible fly fishers plying our northern waters. Their daily ventures afield offer the latest fly fishing news. Jeff Solis, Peter Piconi, Bill Calhoun, and Gary Bulla have a fine grasp on the southern intricacies of California. They are my “Pipeline” to Santa Barbara and beyond. My partner Jay Murakoshi, Sandy Watts, Woody Woodland, and Mike Mercer were always available to discuss fly selection and design.

A very special thanks to Jeff Solis, Dave Stanley, Kate Howe, Bob Zeller, and Cheryl Hoey for their valuable contributions to this project.

I appreciate the fine photography of John Sherman, Brian O’Keefe, and others for their support.

This guidebook received advance review and improvements from fly fishers: Ernie Kinzli owner of Ernie’s Casting Pond, Kurt Lemons owner of Upstream Flyfishing, Bill Kiene, Alan Barnard and Andy Guibord of Kiene’s Fly Shop, Ed Digardi of San Jose Fly Shop, and again, Andy Burk of The Reno Fly Shop. Thank you so much—your additions will help everyone enjoy fly fishing in The Great Golden State.

Finally, special thanks to Pete Chadwell and David Banks for taking my chicken scratches and turning them into a fine guidebook.
