This review is from: Fishing Glacier National Park, 2nd (Paperback)

As an occasional fisherman, I had no idea how to go about fishing in Glacier. This book was very helpful at telling me where to go, what kind of fish to expect, and how to fish for them. The book had tips for both fly- and spin-casters, which I appreciated since I don't know how to fly fish.

Thanks to this book, I had a great time fishing (and catching) in Mokowanis Lake.

This review is from: Fishing Glacier National Park, 2nd (Paperback)

The book was very helpful in determining what streams and lakes contained fish and what ones didn't. It was also pretty accurate as far as the quality of fishing in the streams that I fished. I would recommend this book to anyone who has never been to Glacier and would like a good opportunity to catch fish.

This review is from: Fishing Glacier National Park, 2nd (Paperback)

There are plenty of fish to be caught in Glacier National Park; in fact, fishing in Glacier can be absolutely fantastic. However, one has to know which lakes and streams have fish (trout), and then when and how to catch them. This book gives the inexperienced Glacier angler a head-start on which lakes and streams to try, when the best fishing is, what species are in the waters, and how to catch them. The author is an experienced Glacier fisherman, and he gives great advise for the amateur and experienced angler. Sound advice is always welcome, and this book has plenty. It can be used by both fly fisherman and non-fly fisherman. You don't need a fly rod to catch trout in Glacier, a casting reel with the right bait or lure can often outfish the fly-rod. The author describes many different strategies for catching Glacier's trout.

If you plan to fish trout while in Glacier National Park, this is the book/help you need to get started.
