If you are thinking about a fly fishing trip, but you are not sure where to go... consider picking up this in excellent guide book. Southern Colorado is a spectacular place to visit and fish and a wonderful alternative to the crowds of Montana and Wyoming, but there is lots of water and places to go. The best way to optimize your visit is to let Fly Fishing Southern Colorado : An Angler's Guide show the best places to go. Excellent, informative text complement the maps and directions and clearly outline where to go, what to bring, what to expect, and the best time to do it. As a native of southern Colorado, I still find myself turning to Fly Fishing Southern Colorado : An Angler's Guide for ideas on where to go for the afternoon, day, or the occasional week-long fishing trip. I think this is an indispensible book that has been missing for too long.

This was the first book I ever purchased off Amazon and I really enjoyed reading Mr. Martin's work. He does a very good job of telling you what to use and where to go in southern Colorado. I plan to take it with me this summer along with my 3wt and use it when i am on the water.

This is a book to use in planning a trip to an unknown area. I've flyfished warm water for years but I know little of trout fishing and nothing of doing so in Colorado. This book provides the detail to make decisions on which drainages and particular streams to fish. It clearly points out what is public and private water, what fish are there and provides some information on rod weights and lengths (though I would like to see a bit more of this) and good information on flies and lures to use.

As a belated update, I did plan a very successful and enjoyable trip to the Conejos river using this book. WIth out a reference like this I would never have known this little jewel of a river even existed. 8/27/08

I ordered this book in planning a fly fishing trip to Colorado. I'm still haven't yet decided where to go but this book provides the information to make a decision. The is plenty of detail on what to expect, how to get there, what fish are in that area, how to fish for them and particularly what equipment (rod lengths and weight, leader length, tippet size etc) is needed. This was money well spent.

This book is really the way to go when fishing Southern Colorado. I found the information extremely helpful concerning the conejos river.
