This book provides the basis for someone not already familiar with flyfishing opportunitites in Arizona to get a handle on the primary areas of interest (with good maps). Trout are important, but that's not all of life, so Glenn covers the entire range of possibilities (this ain't Alaska!). If you're looking to see what's available, this is an excellent start; contact any of the good flyshops to get the details, current conditions, other options.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if you are not familiar with Arizona, October 24, 2000

In fairness and response to the PA reader, I would like to point out that unlike the majority of the country, almost all fly fishing available is on lakes only, therefore Tinnin's focus. When the season does not support trout fishing (it gets hot here y'know) we concentrate on other species.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good but not what I was looking for., June 21, 2000

This review is from: Guide to Fly Fishing in Arizona (Paperback)

Tinnin's book lacked real information on fly fishing the creeks, rivers, and streams. It had too much general info. He also concentrates on all types of fish, not just trout and does a lot of explaining about the many lakes in Arizonia. I purchased this book thinking it was about the streams, creeks, and rivers, but to my surprise it was mainly about rivers and lakes. Also, I wanted it for trout fishing info, to my surprise he talks about all of the different fish. The book was a great book for the beginner to the inexperienced, but not for an expert.
