Trout Unlimited Driftless Chapter of Decorah IA has recently embarked on a joint partnership with the Decorah public library to put in a section on fishing in this area. We have a small budget to procure books and videos, we are doing quite well on the fishing part but we have nothing on rodbuilding, as one of few rodbuilders in this area I am requesting any help from fellow rodbuilders for assistance. Any books or videos on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Tom Murray at jandtmurray@gmail.com or contact one od our other officers at iadriftless.org. Tom I am especially interested in adding your book and would be willing to purchase it myself, please follow up on a personal e mail with me.Thank you.

Sam,

It's not my book, although I did write it. You'd have to get a copy from one of the retailers who sell it. I have no connection with any sales pertaining to it.
