Flyfisher's Guide to Wisconsin (Flyfisher's Guides) [Paperback]

John Motoviloff (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2003 | Series: Flyfisher's Guides

This new addition to the Flyfisher’s Guide Series will be the most comprehensive guidebook ever published for the state of Wisconsin. From pristine spring creeks that harbor large trout to steelhead tributaries of Lake Michigan and monstrous smallmouth and pike in the northern flowages, Wisconsin has some of the best flyfishing in the country, including famed trout streams such as the Bois Brule, Oconto, Namekagon, Willow Creek, Kickapoo River, and Black Earth Creek. What really sets this book apart is its additional coverage of warmwater fisheries and steelhead streams for flyfishers, along with a host of smaller trout waters. Detailed maps of the waters, hatch charts, travel information and a listing of every fly shop in the state add a bonus for the Wisconsin traveler.

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

Accessibly written and arranged by experienced outdoorsman and writer John Motoviloff, the Flyfisher's Guide To Wisconsin is a very knowledgeable and quite handy guide to over 250 of the best fly-fishing waters in Wisconsin ranging from the Kickapoo River to the American Legion State Forest. The fish species range from Rainbow Trout, to Coho Salmon, to Smallmouth Bass, to Northern Pike, and a great many other warmwater denizens. Extensive maps, directions, advice, practical tips, recommendations for fly shops and sporting goods, and more, combine to make Flyfisher's Guide To Wisconsin an enthusiastically recommended "quick reference" resource for Wisconsin anglers. Wisconsin libraries should have a copy of the Flyfisher's Guide To Wisconsin in their Hunting/Fishing collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for fishermen, June 22, 2003

By A Customer

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

I don't fish at all, but this book made me understand why someone would want to. Even if you aren't interested in fishing, the author gives wonderful descriptions of the backwaters of the state. Canoers and hikers will find this book of use. The author obviously has a deep love for nature and the places in this book, and it is very infectious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisconsin finally has a fishing bible, May 15, 2003

An enormous book. It's certain to become the de facto fishing guide for the state, and not just for fly fishing (though that is the main focus). The author covers just about every puddle and stream (he's obviously done his research). Amazingly, it's actually quite an entertaining read: well laid out, with good area maps and illustrations, nice photos and pretty good tips on where to stay, eat etc. along with the occasional anecdote by the author. If you need a guide book for a trip to Wisconsin then this is without question the one to get.
