Autorenporträt
Since his first visit to the Flat Tops in 1969, Al Marlowe has returned many times. He has backpacked, fished, hunted, camped, and explored the wilderness. Al lives with his wife, Jean, and their golden retrievers in east Clear Creek County, Colorado. He has a BS in geology and worked several years in the oil industry. In 2000, he established Hidden Lakes Press to publish fishing and hiking guides on CD. After leaving the oil industry he worked as an outdoor writer. His articles were published in numerous outdoor magazines. In 1994 his first book, A Hiking and Camping Guide to the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, was published by Fred Pruett Books in Boulder, Colorado. In 1997 Pruett Publishing in Boulder, Colorado, published his second book, Fly Fishing the Colorado River: An Angler's Guide. After establishing Hidden Lakes Press his first guide was Fly Fishing the Flat Tops. Subsequent work has included fly fishing guides coauthored by Evergreen angler Karen Christopherson. Their guides, Fly Fishing the North Platte River, Fly Fishing the Colorado River, Fifty Colorado Tailwaters, and Trout on Colorado State Land, are available at coloradofishing.com. Karen Rae Christopherson has been fishing since her childhood in Boulder, Colorado. A geophysicist by education and training, Karen has traveled extensively throughout the US and across the world, often with her fly rod in tow. Writing has been a passion since school and she feels fortunate to author books about fly fishing as a diversion from the technical world of geosciences. Karen also acts as webmaster for coloradofishing.net and other fishing websites.
