I bought this book for my husband who has everything fishing related and it was a great buy. He loves it and it looks great on the coffee table. The pictures are awesome. Also I can plan vacations to all the places that I already wanted to go to and now I can convince him to go with the prospect of fishing there.

This is the BEST fly-fishing travel book I've seen.

It's informative and well written....and tells you how to

plan and put together 15 different fly-fishing trips.

Where to go, and what equipment to bring.

The book is loaded with beautiful and fantastic color pictures.

Pat Ford's photos alone are worth the price of the book.

An excellent value !

This is a book by a fisherman for fishermen. For a guy that is obviously a great angler he manages to come across as very humble, which is a pleasant change from some of the more ego driven writers out there.

Reading this will likely convince any fisherman that living in south florida for a few years would complete their lives.

If there is any criticism of this book it is that Pat Ford has set it up beautifully for a sequel, by leaving out the mandatory Christmas Island Bonefish, New Zealand brown trout and the exotic - Taimen in Mongolia, Mahseer in India and Russia for Salmon. A section on Mako on the fly would also be a valuable addition. Volume Two needs to come out soon.

Contrary to the title, many of the worlds best known and highly regarded destinations are not even mentioned. What about Australia, New Zealand, Panama, etc? 40 percent of the book is devoted to Florida! Beautiful photographs do not make up for the lack of useful information. Save your money.

I bought this as a gift and can not speak to it's value or lack or anything really. Sorry.
