John Ross, raised in East Tennessee on the flank of the Great Smokies, was given his first rod and reel by his granddad. Ever since, Ross has chased trout and salmon from the waters of the high Arctic tundra to the river of the grassy steppe of Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands. He is actively involved with Trout Unlimited, and as this is written, serves as the chair of the Virginia Council of Trout Unlimited. He is the author of several sporting travel books including "The Sports Afield Guide to America's Greatest Fishing Lodges."
Praise for Sports Afield Guide to North America's Greatest Fishing
Lodges, also by John Ross:
"Ross, a contributing editor to Sports Afield magazine, and Anders,
a writer and editor for Country Inns magazine, have created an
excellent companion guide for those who love to fish. Whether
rustic settings with cooking facilities or full-service lodgings,
they are in here. Beginning with the East and continuing through
eight other areas of North America, the authors offer vital
statistics, including fish species, season, rates, other possible
activities, and a brief description of both the fishing and the
lodging. They also offer useful travel tips, for example, on what
and how to pack and information concerning shipping fish home.
There is a brief list of references for each part of the country. A
valuable tool for fishing travelers; recommended for all
libraries."
"--Library Journal "
"This smart, thorough guide covers more than 250 freshwater and
saltwater fishing lodges in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.
Whether you enjoy stalking high-mountain brook trout on tiny flies
or throwing wiggly worms to largemouth bass in southern swamps, you
can find a destination resort, ranch, or wilderness floatplane
drop-off that will satisfy your fishing needs and budget."

"One of my favorite guides, and a great "take along" for interstate
road-trips, is Trout Unlimited's Guide to America's 100 Best Trout
Streams. It's a great way to see your state, or a state you're
visiting.""-www.troutworld.com"
