2.0 out of 5 stars Short on destinations, long on fly-fishing basics, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park: An Angler's Guide (Paperback)

Only 27 pages devoted to actual RMNP destinations and the rest a basic beginners guide to flyfishing. Better than nothing, but I recommend stopping by the Estes Angler for some real advice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big on fishing with little advice about RMNP "hot spots", March 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park: An Angler's Guide (Paperback)

I was suprised that soooo much of this books was about knots, rods, presentation etc and not about Rocky Mountain National Park waters. This book is more of a "how to flyfish disertation" rather than a book that will guide you to the park's hidden treasures. It was better than nothing but a bit thin on destinations.

3.0 out of 5 stars An introduction to fishing the Park, August 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park: An Angler's Guide (Paperback)

This book provides a basic introduction to fly fishing in Rocky Mountain National Park, but left me wanting for a lot more. The focus is on lake fishing, with little emphasis on the beautiful little streams throughout the park. The information on hatches and flies is sparse, something I'd expect a lot of information about from a book targeted at such a specific area. There's a lot devoted to casting, knot tying and general fly fishing technique that I found of little use, but that's not uncommon in this type of book. All in all, if you'd like to get started in RMNP, this is a decent way to go, but realize going in that there is a lot missing here.
