Death in a Live Forest

John Holt spends as much time as possible fishing and hanging out in sparsely-populated country with his wife, photographer Ginny Holt, mainly the remoteness found on northern high plains east of the continental divide in Montana and connected country that runs north into the Yukon and Northwest Territories. They’ve done numerous articles for a variety of magazines including The Flyfish Journal, Crossroads, Men’s Journal, Big Sky Journal, American Cowboy and The Art of Angling Journal on their experiences on the road. Acquiring vintage reels and bamboo fly rods is another interest. He and Ginny recently completed the book Fly Fishing Montana. Other titles the two have done include Coyote Nowhere - In Search of America’s Last Frontier, Yellowstone Drift - Floating the Past in Real Time, Arctic Aurora - Canada’s Yukon and Northwest Territories and Stalking Trophy Browns. They live in Livingston, Montana.
