25 Best National Parks to Fly Fish - Softcover

Terry was born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma. When not working on the farm, he was always fishing in one of the local creeks, rivers or ponds. His grandfather, Troy Holsted, was a devoted fan of Zane Grey and decided in the 1930's that if Zane Grey was a fly fisherman, then Troy Holsted should also be a fly fisherman. In the 1960's, his grandfather built a cabin in Taylor Park, Colorado and Terry spent his early years walking the high mountain streams watching his fly fishing mentor cast a Montague cane fly rod to rising fish. Every summer Terry still walks the same streams casting the same rod followed by his son, Troy.
