1.0 out of 5 stars Great for getting lost, September 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide to Montana (Paperback)

Other reviews address the poor quality of the writing and textual information in this book. Let me bring up the issue of the next to useless maps that accompany this text. The detail is about the same as those maps the rental car agencies pass out. Forget finding those back roads to the best spots, those roads don't exist on the maps in this book. If you insist on buying this book, also buy some topos and visit local shops so you don't wast time driving down a road to nowhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is good for a campfire, July 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide to Montana (Paperback)

Taking this book to Montana was a complete waste of time. Thomas misses seasonal patterns on some of the major creeks. Some of the map diagrams are misleading in terms of access and, in the case of Yaak River wrong in direction. It diagrams hwy 200 running up the Kootenai instead of hwy 2.

Granted, you will always get better info just going into a Missoula, Bozeman, or Kalispall shop, but I found information in this book just too inconsistent then what the locals know.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Montana Flyfishing guides I have ever read, November 5, 1998

I have been venturing to Montana every year for the last ten years to visit friends and family. I always spend at least two weeks traveling the country side with my drift boat looking for great places to fish. This year I happened on Greg's guide while in Ennis, Montana. The book led me to some of the best fishing I have ever experienced in the state. The guide has all of the information needed to plan an entire trip from scratch. It is easy to read and understand. Next year I am planning on going for six weeks!
