A Joy to Read

This one is destined to be a trout fisherman's classic! Pithy descriptions, exceptional humor and delicious details make this book both fun to read and a piscatorial adventure to put alongside Walton, Bergman, Gierach, Wulff, Grey, and others of similar stature. Next to fishing, fly fishermen love to read about their sport and this tome provides a great escape into fine writing and fun fishing tales. And be sure to follow up with Mr. Montgomery's "Many Rivers to Cross: Of Good Running Water, Native Trout, and the Remains Of Wilderness."

The best book on fly fishing for trout I have read!

I have fly fished for over forty years, and although there are many excellent books on the subject, I keep this one on my night table. I've lost count of how many times I've read it! Mr. Montgomery is the real article. I found myself nodding in affirmation page after page. This book is a treat for anyone interested in trout or flyfishing. There has been a lot of hype about flyfishing for trout since "A river runs through it" was made into a movie. This book cuts through all the crap. This man knows trout! an excellent read
