What a journey for some one to be able take.

We are so fortunate that he was such a great author. His wonderful books allow us to journey with his very thoughts, to his favorite haunts, as he lived them..


Good Luck to Someone...:)

My father was stationed at KI Sawyer AFB prior to our move to Elmendorf in 1964. Voelker came to the base rod and gun club to give a short talk and I remember a little of it. There were a lot of those things in my youth and few stand out. My father was an accomplished tier at the time, assembling large framed fly displays, and I can remember Voelker complimenting my father for one.

I have revisited Trout Madness several times over the years and have "forced" several youg fly fishermen to read it.
