Coastal cutthroat trout populate nearly all of the streams and lakes along the Pacific Coast rainforest belt, from Northern California to Prince William Sound in Alaska. In this book, Les Johnson has written the definitive book on coastal cutthroat--from their habitat and life histories to the most productive flies, techniques, and tackle--always with a deep sense of responsibility towards the future of these great fish. Johnson's vast knowledge and love for this fish coupled with data contributed by biologists and academics from California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia, make Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout the most in-depth book ever published on this feisty and tenacious trout.

From their habitat and life histories, to the most productive flies, techniques and tackle to use when pursuing them,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly-Fishing for Coastal Cutthroat Trout: Flies, Techniques, Conservation (Paperback)
Also available in a hardcover format (1571883347, $45.00), Les Johnson's Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout is the definitive book on the coastal cutthroat, from their habitat and life histories, to the most productive flies, techniques and tackle to use when pursuing them. Coastal cutthroat trout populate nearly all of the streams and lakes along the Pacific Coast rainforest belt from Northern California to Alaska's Prince William Sound. With salmon and steelhead populations in decline, more and more anglers are turning their attention to the coastal cutthroat, and it's Les Johnson's vast knowledge and love for this fish, coupled with data contributed by biologists and academics from California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia that make Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout the indispensable, highly recommended instructional guide for seeking to land this particularly feisty and tenacious trout!

This review is from: Fly-Fishing for Coastal Cutthroat Trout: Flies, Techniques, Conservation (Paperback)
The author is perhaps the most knowledgeable person to ask when seeking information about coastal cutthroat trout. This book has it all, from how to catch them to habitat and conservation efforts. It isn't a technical treatise, rather a very understandable and easy to read work that will enhance any reader's knowledge and be entertaining at the same time.

This review is from: Fly-Fishing for Coastal Cutthroat Trout: Flies, Techniques, Conservation (Paperback)
I am intrigued by what others overlook. This book discussed a much ignored fish that is of great importance and a specific indicator of the overall health of our fishing industry in general. In 25 years of living in NorCal I have only hooked one cutthroat (not a hybrid). This book speaks of where and how to catch them. Habitat, feed, and habits. Good book for those less drawn to the stockers and size queens out there.
