From the Author
My name is "Rex Johnson, Jr.", not "Rex Jr. Johnson". The "Jr." part of the name stands for "Junior", from the Latin word of the same spelling, a comparative form of "juvis/juvenis" (this root form meaning "young"),the comparative form meaning "the younger". Thus, there are in my family two Rex Johnsons, my father and I. Since I am the younger of the two, I am called "Rex Johnson, the Younger," or, in a sort of macaronic usage, Rex Johnson, Junior," or, to use a more commonly-used and conventional form of this phrase, "Rex Johnson, Jr." I am currently trying to correct my scrambled name, hoping it will not appear elsewhere. I am also trying to correct the title of the book, which should be called "Near the Rim" and to correct various other forms of carelessness in the galley copy of the "Blue Ribbon Guide" itself. I would not use the adjective "blue" or even "green" or "red" ribbon to describe most of Arizona's trout fishing, due to widespread stream degradation. Maybe "yellow" would work, but I prefer the original title, Near the Rim. The Arizona climate is wonderful, however. At this point I am not sure when or whether the book will actually be issued, at least in its present hodge-podge form. It is an extremely condensed description of a virtual world of fly-fishing opportunities in the American Southwest. Arizona is being overrun and developed so rapidly that I am not sure how long any fly-fishing book might remain useful to anyone but historians. Most of my material is based on fishing experiences "from before", as the Tarahumara Indians from Mexico describe the pictographs painted on canyon walls by their ancestors. Before was better. I won't be seeing much of Arizona this summer. Instead, I will be chasing after the native trout of Mexico for a forthcoming book, "Fuente Escondida". See, for example soon-to-appear article (June or July, '99) in "Fly Rod and Reel" magazine entitled, "Donde Estan Las Truchitas?" This is dangerous work, because of the "narco-trafficantes" who have set up shop along many of the trout streams of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Fools rush in, etc. I have purchased fly-fishing life insurance for the task ahead, and hope I live to tell the tale. Have a good day, tight lines, adios pescaderos.
