This review is from: 49 Trout Streams of New Mexico (Paperback)

This book is a very nice University Press book that conveys the essence of NM trout streams and its high quality trout fishing. Not a fish pic book, it emphasizes the experience of angling in beautiful places. Highly recommended.

This review is from: 49 Trout Streams of New Mexico (Paperback)

Each stream is described on two pages. The first page is a full page photo; the 2nd page is 4 to 6 paragraphs with a few small photos inset. The photos are nice, but not informative. The narrative is poetic, but not very informative.

It might make a decent coffee table book, but it's not a serious guide for trout streams in NM.

This review is from: 49 Trout Streams of New Mexico (Paperback)

I got some valuable information from this book but it doesn't cover nearly enough information on the streams of New Mexico. I would like to have seen more details on size and character of the streams and more specifics on the maps. Still, used in conjunction with other books, this book is useful.
