Great book (recomendation from a local)

This book is a phenomenal find. I live just 25 miles south of Rocky Mountain National Park. Each year, for the past three years, I sit down with my fishing buddies, we open up Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park: An Angler's Guidebook, and plan approximately eight trips to the "park" using this book as our guide. So far the trips have been fantastic. Every year the question is raised "How can we go to another spot when the last trip was so great?" The guidebooks advice never fails us, have faith, read the book and GO! I have caught Colorado River cut throat, green back cut throat, rainbow, brown trout and brookies. The book is well written and will serve as a guide for anglers wanting easy, moderate and difficult hikes. A must buy for someone who doesn't know the area. I am looking for a recommendation for Yellowstone.

An excellent reference, and essential to fish the RMN Park!!

5 stars! I've used Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park since it came out in 1996, as have many of my friends in Colorado. It's clearly written, with practical advice and first-rate directions. The park's a big place, and you could spend a lifetime exploring the book's 30-plus destinations. I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
