The inclination of most fly-line anglers is to fish moving water. That's a mistake, because there are bigger trout in California's lakes and reservoirs. Fly Fishing California Stillwaters tells anglers where the best fishing can be found, offering directions, full-color maps and so much detail you'll never again arrive at a lake wondering what fly to use or where to start your search for trout.

From the Publisher
Too often, fly-fishing guides are straightforward how-to, where-to books with little thought to graphics, photos or maps. In Fly Fishing California Stillwaters Mosca Loca Books has set a new standard for such guides. Supplementing the readable, informed text are fantastic color photographs and large, detailed maps. All this combines to produce a book not only a must accessory for your fishing vehicle but to display on your coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great new book!,
By Chris Nichols (Roseville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly Fishing California Stillwaters (Paperback)
This is a book that serves two purposes -- it is a much-needed guide to fly-fishing California's lakes and reservoirs and it also is a beantiful book that will look great on anybody's coffee table. In addition to excellent information on where to fish, how to fish the best lakes in the state, and what realistically to expect when you get there, first-rate maps make sure you don't get lost on the way. And the photography is fantastic! This is the third (and perhaps the best) of Bill Sunderland's books on fly fishing in California.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An exciting fisherman's guide,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly Fishing California Stillwaters (Paperback)
Fly Fishing California Stillwaters is an exciting fisherman's guide to the trout that can be found in California's lakes and reservoirs. Stillwater trout are bigger because they don't have to work as hard fighting stream and river currents, and because many lakes are rich in fish food. Full-color photographs and illustrations on almost every page add a visual touch to this no-nonsense guide to the best stillwater locations all across California, complete with maps, information on resources, tips, tricks, techniques, and much more. Recommended for any fly-fisherman in California who is out to catch the biggest fish to be had.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of info, but a little dated,

This review is from: Fly Fishing California Stillwaters (Paperback)
There is a lot of good information in this book. Unfortunately, it needs to be updated. Some of the waters have changed considerably over the last decade.
