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 McCracken’s General , 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. Clark, boatbuilder and sometime 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 is too patriotic to work on imports; and so many more enormous personalities.
Waldie’s warmth, wit, and shrewd eye for characterization evoke a deep nostalgia for times past and quirky communities. For fly fishers everywhere, Travers Corners will be a second home.

Travers Corners Classic Stories about Fly Fishing and a Small Montana Town Scott Waldie Books Reviews
- I have not read such a book with describable characters such as these in a long time. From the beginning of the book to the very end, I found it to be very insightful, nostalgic, and filled with some memorable tales within the whole book. For anyone who values the quiet and simple life of a small town and its history - as well as some very good descriptions of down home, friends, relationships and some trips down memory lane, this book is tops in my library. I am looking forward to reading the second and third parts of this trilogy.
- There's something for everyone in Scott Waldie's story of eccentric characters living on the Madison River. The historical connection was fun in this book and cleverly made by the author. We can always count on the good guys winning the day in each story, even though they are challenged by the eccentricities of flyfishermen. It may seem like the village is a figment of the imagination, but I suspect that each plot invention has a close cousin in real life. I like to read the Travers Corners trilogy every year or so, just to keep the smile on my face.
- Fishing is the framework, but life is the flesh on the bones of great story telling. This is the first of a trilogy, and all are strong tales that bear multiple readings.
- Each story was was perfect in length and content. Characters are memorable and fun plus they tend to remind me of folks I have met. Can't wait to start the next book.
- a little schmaltzy.
- Mr. Scott Waldie's series Travers Corners are such a delight... if you have ever lived in a small town, you will relate to all these characters. Bought our first book (which we loaned to someone and lost) in Montana on one of our annual fly fishing trips and fell in love with it.
You wont be disappointed.. you WILL purchase the entire series once you read the first one!
Rhonda - Seattle, WA - One enjoyable walk through a small Montana town. Fly fisher or not you will find, as we have, that you keep returning again and again.
Jud (one of the main characters), his friends and neighbors have come to feel like personal friends. We love these stories and highly recommend the trio of books to any and all that we meet. My favorite stories period. - Humorous take on what it is like to live in a very small Montana community where peoples lives are open books.
