George Hossfeld: A pleasure to read of the camaraderie of the clan in the era of the early 1900’s until today.. I think some of us have been lucky enough to experience similar closeness in a family- I know I was. For those of us with an outdoorsman’s bent, the combination is wonderful.

Greg Walter:
John Maclean gave us a gift with Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River, and I am eternally grateful. Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye tells us, “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.”
Maclean’s book fills in so many of the blanks from his father’s classic work without sounding as if he were capitalizing on a trend. He adds the details we wish we knew before without taking away the romantic quality of A River Runs Through It. While Norman Maclean’s work is, in my opinion, literary perfection, his son’s book does not detract from that perfection by filling in the details Norman felt were able to be omitted. Instead, John is rewarding us with sharing some family secrets we’ve been wondering about.
John Maclean is an accomplished writer of great purpose. I appreciate each of his books on wildland fires, so this book wasn’t necessarily something he had to do. However, now older than his father when A River Runs Through It was first released, I believe he too...
