From fly-fishing techniques to the stories of the cats he’s known, each work reflects his unique perspective.


Michael Gorman, founder of Scarlet Ibis Fly Fishing Tours, Inc., has been guiding and teaching effective fly fishing skills for more than 30 years. His angling knowledge and skills have been honed in New Zealand, Ireland, Christmas Island, the Bahamas, Florida, Alaska, British Columbia, and all over the Western United States, including Oregon’s world-famous Deschutes, Rogue River, McKenzie River, and North Umpqua Rivers.

Michael Gorman, lifelong cat observer and author of more than thirty books, has spent decades living with and learning from the unforgettable felines who have shared his home. His knowledge of cat behavior and companionship has been shaped by Miracle, the intuitive Alpha Girl; TinyCat; Hoover and Squeaky, two once-feral survivors; and Little Bub, whose spirited antics filled each day with stories worth telling.
