Welcome to Travers Corners, a dusty Montana town, where nothing much has happened since Herbert Hoover stopped for gas. Travers Corners, like most small towns, has no newspaper, no radio station; but here, large trout - no better than large trout, fictitious trout - await the angler. And apart from spreading gossip outside the McCraken’s General Store, the residents of Travers Corners love nothing more than fly fishing. Scott Waldie’s delightful cast of characters breathes life into this tiny, out-of-the-way town. Meet Judson C. Clarke, boat builder and some-time guide down the waters of Carrie Creek. Jud’s best friend, Henry, knows his way around just about everything, and has a story and a laugh for everyone. Meet Dolores, the belle of Travers Corners; Sarah, who fled from New York City in search of quiet and community; Doc, who loves his profession and fly fishing - and not necessarily in that order; Ed, the mechanic who’s too patriotic to work on imports; and so many more enormous personalities. Waldie’s warmth, wit, and shrewd eye for characterization, evokes a deep nostalgia for times past and quirky communities. For fly fishers everywhere, Travers Corners will be a second home.

I find myself all the time searching for a new book and that age old advice always creeps in my head, but I usually can’t shake it. Not that this cover is a bad one, but it definitely isn’t a direct representation of what’s inside.

The story’s in this book are wonderful. The intro hit me a little strange, and if it does for you, just stick with it.

Well worth the read. I’m picky. Cynical. And ridiculous. I enjoyed every minute. A true representation of the west. You’ll fall for the characters and stay for the ending.

Never judge a book by its cover!

Delightful short stories weaving together small town Montana, great characters and fly fishing tales. Clearly the author has spent time with all three.

This collection of stories was extremely entertaining. I have listened to a hundred books and by far this one is my favorite. I’m an avid fly fisherman which is what brought to this title. However this book is about more than fly fishing, it is about the town and the people therein. There is a story about the history and ancestors. Very well done. They don’t allow eleven stars…….

Fantastic listen
