WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING
"Few fishermen know as much about fishing spring creeks as Mike Lawson and fewer still - maybe none - can cut through the complexities of entomology and technique to make it sound like something less than brain surgery. You hear it all the time, but this really is a long awaited book, and I'm glad it's finally here." - John Gierach
"From the first page to the last, it's a magic carpet ride with Mike Lawson. The book is like having Mike guide you on a spring creek. He is the perfect teacher sharing his angling knowledge so that you can learn through his book what took him a lifetime to experience. When you finish the book you will be a better fly fisher and feel like you have known Mike forever. No question this book will be a classic for years to come." - Jack Dennis, author, angler, TV and Video Producer and sports show proprietor
