Books By Bob Scammell

Scammell's day job is practicing Family and Matrimonial law in Red Deer, Alberta, but he spends a great deal of time at his Stump Ranch sixty miles west of that city, fishing and doing the entomological "research" that has resulted in his most recent book The Phenological Fly, published in May this year. In 1987, Scammel went to England as a member of the first Canadian team ever to compete in the World Fly Fishing Championship. He has fished coast to coast in Canada and extensively in the U.S. West. Scammell's writing has frequently been recognized in the annual awards competition of The Outdoor Writers of Canada. In 1983, his first book, The Outside Story, won the O.W.C. award as the outstanding outdoors book published that year in Canada. The book is now out of print, but Scammell says he still has a few copies that he sells, autographed, all mailing, postage and tax included, for $20.00 U.S. or $25.00 Canadian.
