5.0 out of 5 stars
A treasury of great information
I've been reading everything I could get my hands on about fly fishing for the past year. This book is by far the best of the bunch to date. If you fish in the West, this is a book you'll want to own. Packed with great advice that will help you catch (and release) more fish. For me, the chapter on pocket water techniques alone is worth the price of the book.

Looks great from the table of contents, till you actually read it
I bought this before a monthlong trip to MT hoping it would be a good resource. The author has bitten off more than he can chew--too shallow, not authoritative, and not the book I thought it would be

4.0 out of 5 stars
How to and where to fish,
By Austin W Condon (Estes Park, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Western Fly Fishing (DK Pocket) (Paperback)
Novices and experienced anglers alike will find helpful information in Paul Downings "Handbook of Western Fly Fishing". Whether you are looking for tips on rigging or how to find and care for a guide, you will find a wealth of information in this compact book. I particularly enjoyed the first person stories of real adventures one can often experience while exploring new areas in search of fish. But then, Paul also makes it clear that the reason people fish isn't always the fish they catch, but the places they get to explore and things they get to enjoy on the way. A good read whether looking for specific info, or just enjoy fishing stories. I recommend it.
