5.0 out of 5 stars This book is indespensible for a Beartooth-Absaroka hiker!, January 4, 1999

This review is from: Fishing the Beartooths (Paperback)

Sometimes the hardest part of getting to Beartooth-Absaroka lakes is finding the trailhead. Great detail is given by Pat Marcuson in traveling this incredible area. After 50/60 trips into this wilderness I wouldn't be without this book! I met Pat several times in the late seventies and his knowledge of this area is quite remarkable and reflected in this book.

This review is from: Fishing the Beartooths (Paperback)

I've been there and the few lakes I've experienced we're exactly as described in the book. You can't value the information here! Great job.

This review is from: Fishing the Beartooths (Paperback)

The author managed the fisheries and fish stocking program in the Beartooths for many years, and provides enormous detail in this book about every lake that has fish. There have been some changes since he wrote the first edition, and not all of them are noted in this latest edition (1997) but, overall, the info is great. I don't know of a similarly complete and authoritative fishing guide to any other wilderness area. One small gripe: this book talks solely about the lakes of the Beartooths without mentioning that some of the best fishing is in the feeder and outlet streams, some of them a long way from the nearest lakes.
