Bob Miller's NEW BOOK is off to press! ORCA Exclusive!
Great news! ORCA's own Bob Miller's newest book -- River Reflections: Essays on Life and Fly Fishing -- is off to press and will be an ORCA Exclusive! Bab Bob, being the gentleman he is, has granted the copyright to this book, and all the profits as well, to our own ORCA! What a guy. And what a book!
Many of you have read his writings in the Reel News, well this book collects those, essays from his long out-of-print Willow Creek, and a bunch of new essays never before published to create this 220-page masterpiece. It really is great. As the back cover notes:
"This series of essays by geologist and fishing historian Robert A. Miller are either true accounts of experiences of the author, friends, and family, or are based on research by the author on other selected related subjects and occurrences. From remarkable characters to poignant commentaries on nature, aging, and fly fishing, this book has something for anyone who has ever been enchanted by creeks and rivers and the natural life that inhabit them."
The book will be available from the ORCA Store and Roger I'm sure will update us when the book is ready to order. You'll not want to miss this one, and grab an extra copy because it's going to make a perfect holiday gift.

Having had the good fortune to preview this book, I can affirm all Dr Todd says! It’s a great, fun read and has some thought-provoking moments as well. Please also note for those who didn’t blow up that back cover, the painting depicted there was also painted by Bob! He’s a true artist in every sense of the word!
Also, must add a big thanks to Dr Todd and Whitefish Press for facilitating the publication of the book for the sole benefit of ORCA!
