Overall this was a great book to get information about Trout. It gives so much info on how to catch trout, where to catch them, different methods for catching them, and also it explains all about trout and the many different types pf trout.

Trout aren't the most popular kind of fish to catch, but they are one of the more pretty fish out there. Especially Rainbow Trout. The most common place to catch trout are in rivers and streams. That is all mainly because they love to swim against the current. This book gives a detailed location that would be ideal for trout fishing. After you read this book, i guarantee that you will be able to go somewhere and catch a trout where the trout fishing is good.

This book would be a great book for fisherman that are learning how and where to catch trout. Really any type of fisherman because it explains why the fish like to be in certain areas. If you are not a fisherman then this is not the book for you because it is more of a factual book not a story. I recommend this book to the fisherman out there.

This book has a lot if information about various species of trout, techniques for catching them, and some history about the fish as well.

It’s definitely a read for fisherman specifically. A person interested in learning more about these type of fish may like this book as well. It is definitely not a fiction or story based novel.

Some of the information is a bit dated. This is to be expected based on the publishing age. For this reason I’m giving this book 4 stars instead of 5.

Good, but basic and quite repetitive. I don't need to be reminded five times to use a red striped spoon.

Just needed another trout book to read. Sadly this was not the best pick. Nice overview, but no enough depth in any one topic.
