Very helpful,

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.
