Backcountry Fishing
Johnny Molloy
For many anglers, the lure of fishing is not always the fish, but the
places where the fish are. Tossing a rod is just the excuse for heading
into the back of beyond, to enjoy nature on nature's terms, to get past
the parking lot to enter the backcountry.
Whether going by foot or by self-propelled craft, such as a canoe or
kayak, backcountry travel leads anglers from an auto accessible
trailhead or put-in to a fishing destination they must reach on their
own, without a car or motorboat. This is backcountry fishing. The
simplest way is to get there by foot. Walking or hiking to the
destination requires merely a body of water, whether it be a lake or
stream.
Outback travel by boat is a little more complicated. A canoe or kayak
is needed. In this situation you will start at a put-in and if by
river, travel downstream, maybe camping, maybe not, then ending at a
take-out. Other times, you will start and end in the same place,
especially when traveling lakes, or a series of lakes connected by
portages. Many kayaking destinations will be in saltwater. Some
backcountry boating destinations, whether they be fresh or salt, river,
lake or ocean, will be shared by some motor boaters. This guide covers
backcountry fishing, whether day tripping in a canoe, day hiking along
a remote river, or going for a multi-day excursion.
Whether fly fishing, spin fishing, or saltwater fishing, Backcountry Fishing
has all the information needed to be best prepared for backcountry
fishing excursions. * Equipment including repair and maintenance *
Casting techniques * Types of boats, canoes, and kayaks * Backcountry
campsites * List of fish including where to find and bait to use
*Cooking in the backcountry *Safety To help get anglers started, a list
of backcountry fishing destinations for each state is also included
with hiking and paddling destinations. It covers the bodies of water to
be fished, where the waters are, the fish to be caught, backcountry
accesses, what maps will be helpful, what types of overnight camping
possibilities while fishing, and a helpful Internet information link.

Backpacking Idaho
Douglas Lorain
A virtually undiscovered backpacking paradise, Idaho has numerous wilderness areas of mind-boggling size. Backpackers can find complete solitude, wildlife, and some of North America's most outstanding scenery. Idaho's mountains also boast great weather--fewer thunderstorms than the central Rockies, less rain than Oregon and Washington, and cooler summer temperatures than California. Backpacking Idaho takes you to what author Doug Lorain calls a "Shangri-la" for backpackers. In the craggy Selkirk Mountains you'll find lush forests, small cirque lakes, and jagged granite peaks. Watch for ospreys, river otters, and belted kingfishers in the swift Selway River. Explore hundreds of miles of trails in the gently rolling forested hills in north-central Idaho, or head to Hell's Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America, where you'll find both alpine tundra and cactus-studded desert.
