Makes Me Feel Like An Expert

Before we catch fish we must find them. Mr. Rosenbauer tell us how in great depth. He describes every kind of water found in rivers, and where we are most likely to find trout. This book has great illustrations, so throughout the fishing season it's easy to quickly review the essentials of reading the water of streams and rivers. I don't see how anyone could write a better book on this subject. This is one of my favorite technical fly fishing books.

A must

This book put me on the road to being a better fisherman. It covers all aspects of trout life and how to understand and fish the habitat. My all time top fishing book for building knowledge.

awesome

If you want to learn from one of the best, jump all over Tom's books. Any book you pick will be loaded with info. Tom will tell you just how its done.

the very best of its kind

rosenbauer's books are, in my opinion, the very best introductory and intermediate fly fishing books available. this particular book about reading trout streams is an absolulte gem; we learn about different water types, the needs of trout, the relationship between water type and insect activity, etc. everyone needs to learn to cast, tie knots and identify basic kinds of trout foods; this book will help any fly fisherman better understand where in the water the trout actually hold, how flows and other seasonal changes affect trout habitat, and will eliminate some of the time that we all waste fishing 'dead water.' an excellent read and even better teaching material.
