"Dream Fish" Gets You Dreamin About Fishing.

I enjoyed this book. It made me want to go right out on the South Platte River southwest of Denver and start fishing. Mr. Thomas is a good writer who knows how to convey the excitement of fishing. I could identify with some of his stories. At points I found myself thinking: I've been there or done that. The only thing that put me off about this book was the very faint tinge of high-falutinism that comes through. What I mean is I get the feeling that I couldn't afford to go on most of the trips he takes. I wish someone would write a book about fishing the places close to home, the small waters, that most of us can get to. But, that was my only complaint. Otherwise, I liked the book. I learned some things about technique, even though this isn't a how-to book.
