They showed me the Show-Me State's trout fishing

This little book by Chuck and the late Sharon Tryon is a real eye-opener. Say "Missouri" to most fly fishers, and you get a blank stare or, at best, a suggestion of bass, catfish, and suckers. Well, as it turns out, Missouri is a premier trout fishery. And not just in one stream or watershed. Many creeks, rivers, and their reservoirs hold trout--lots of big trout, many of them wild. You can successfully fly fish for trout in Missouri without a human guide, but not without this guide book.

Missouri Trout fishing will be overlooked no more!

Chuck Tryon and his wife Sharon did a fabulous job in letting the world know that Missouri is a Trophy Water Trout state. I bought this book several years ago when I moved to Missouri from New York and it has been my guide ever since. No trout fisher who is headed to the "Show Me State" should be without this manual. Every spot is detailed so you can not miss. Great book!

A great book even if you aren't from Missouri.

I don't know why Chuck isn't more famous, as he is one of the finest flyfishing writers around. Maybe it IS a case of nice guys finish last... I hope you'll read this book and appreciate the work the author put into it.

An excellent guide for fly fishing in Missouri.

This is an excellent guide for those wishing to fly fish for trout in Missouri. An abundance of locations are disclosed, maps are provided (though sometimes inaccurate) and there are lodging/dining ideas for the areas discussed. The writers style is light, and peppered with humor. There is a brief history of the sport and some basic material for those just learning to fly fish.

Good introduction to Missouri fly fishing

For new flyfishers or flyfishers new to Missouri, this little book (174 pages) is a real help. It includes many helpful pointers on fly fishing in general, with general information on equipment, techniques, and entomology, and with a great deal of information on specific Missouri trout streams
