There is so much good information in here. Some which I learned for the first time some which I’ve learned in the past, but perhaps forgotten or didn’t realize how important it is. The only downside is the picture quality. Go get your fish on!

I wish it had higher quality, color images and was designed like more of a field guide, but this book had tons of great content. I learned a lot.

Interesting book about locating trout in streams.

However, decent writing is hampered by poor quality black and white photographs and insipid illustrations. For example, the author writes a paragraph about finding trout under grassy cut-under hedges, and helpfully includes a photograph, but the picture is so grainy that while you have an idea of what this terrain feature looks like, it isn't terribly helpful. Not to mention, you can't see the trout that is hiding under the bank...I mean, come on, use a polarized lens on your camera so we can see a concrete example!

All in all, a good instructional book.

This is one of those books you will remember when you are standing on the bank of your favorite river. Tips, diagrams, and instructions help make this a great guide.
