3.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful pictures/disappointing text, September 7, 2006
This review is from: Fly Fishing the Great Western Rivers (Hardcover)
This is a good coffee table book for the armchair fisherman. The pictures are beautifully done and very artistic. The author does have some problems with his western geography. The Snake River and Gallatin River do NOT share the same drainage--they are on DIFFERENT sides of the Continental Divide. The author also mislabels a beautiful Snake River Cutthroat Trout as a brown trout--shameful. The text gets somewhat tedious--constantly reading about how early the author gets up, how little sleep he gets (give me a break, he's traveling around the west fishing with a different guide every day) and reading about all these gigantic fish that he makes pictures of but don't seem to end up in the book. I'm giving this book three stars for the quality of the paper and photographs and the places it takes me in my mind.
