Michigan is a flyfisher's paradise, with a seemingly endless supply of rivers, streams, and lakes. Outdoor writer Jim Bedford covers all of these opportunities in greater detail than ever before in this new 480 page guidebook. From steelhead and salmon around the Great Lakes to the remote trout waters of the Upper Peninsula to the famous waters of the Northern Lower Peninsula, he gives great information on where, when and how to fish this impressive state. He also covers opportunities for smallmouth and largemouth bass, carp, and other species that have been virtually ignored in previous guidebooks for Michigan. There is a comprehensive fly shop listing and travel information that includes hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, and more. Over 120 maps for rivers and streams complement the thorough text that will make this the best flyfishing guidebook to own for fishing all of Michigan's great water.

Wonderful Starting point,

This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide To Michigan (Flyfisher's Guide Series) (Paperback)
This book is a great guide to the many rivers I have spent time on in Michigan. It is not going to put you on the honey-holes, but it will provide you with good maps and the right strategies to have a sucessful day on the river. It also provides area business #'s, which I have found helpful on several occassions. Jim Bedford knows what he is taking about. Great investment.

Everything I had hoped for.,
By John Emmendorfer (Owosso, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide To Michigan (Flyfisher's Guide Series) (Paperback)
Being fairly new to fly fishing for trout, I was looking for some help in where to go and what to use so I would not have to start from scratch. Jim has obviously been there and done that. His tips, techniques, and sites are outstanding. This book is a must for anyone getting started and a great asset to those who are looking for additonal information. Thank you for sharing your experiences in such a great book.

By
This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide To Michigan (Flyfisher's Guide Series) (Paperback)
This book is includes all the streams, rivers, and waterways of Michigan, with information on what fish are in them, seasons to fish, lures to use, and other information. I found it to great not just for the information it has on the fish, but on all the other stuff- how to get to the best spots, things to watch out for, noise/distractions around the river, ease of access, etc. Using this book, you will have a realistic picture of what the fishing experience is going to be like.
