Book Description

June 4, 2002
Pick a spot between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park and ready yourself for more fishing than you can possibly imagine. This comprehensive guide to the best fly fishing and camping in Montana is user friendly. Maps are provided for each section, along with a map for each of the two parks. Select a highway or secondary road, open up the book to your starting point, and follow the mileage marker signs to river access points, as well as those wonderful streams and small lakes that are seldom visited.

Fishing in Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park is thoroughly covered. Between the two parks the book divides into six sections: Northwest, Western, Rocky Mountain Front, Upper Missouri River, Southwestern and the Yellowstone River drainage. Montana's famous rivers are covered: Beaverhead River, Big Hole River, Big Horn River, Bitterroot River, Blackfoot River, Clark Fork River, Flathead River, Gallatin River, Kootenai River, Thompson River, Swan River, Yellowstone River, and the Yaak River. In addition, over 50 creeks and little known rivers are covered along with a multitude of backcountry lakes that may be reached in a day hike.

Archer's book is "organized the same way people get to fishing holes -- by the highway that leads them there....The chapters are based on highways, and mileage marker information leads readers right to the holes...." - Nick Gevock, Missoulian

From the Author

I know the frustration of exploring a new territory to camp and fish. Some of the guide books that I have purchased through the years have been rife with errors, not to mention vague directions. You will not get lost using my book, and you will find gems often overlooked in other sources. The time spent casting on trout water is what makes a great fishing trip. Buy my book and you can map out a logical survey of Montana's best waters without wasting gas and time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes planning your trip easy. Adventure stories add to fun., May 4, 2005
This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing and Camping Guide (Paperback)
An extensive coverage of all the best fly fishing holes in Montana. As a fly fishing guide for over 15 years and having clients such as Charles Schwab and Huey Lewis he knows what you're looking for and tells you where to find it. It's a perfect traveling companion for those Fly Fishermen or Camping folks hitting the roads between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone. Dave provides you with detailed directions on where the best spots are along with funny stories of his travels...he'll actually tell you what mile marker to look for and which part of the fork in the road to take! Take a look at glaciertoyellowstone.com for pieces of the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, November 14, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing and Camping Guide (Paperback)
To me, it's just not organaized well. It's hard for me to follow which water author is talking about due to inconsistent title, numbering, bullets, etc. For example, Madison River appears in both Southwestern and Yellowstone chapters. I know that but it's too choppy to follow a river. Sounds like a different water. And then there is no detailed map for each water or at least surrounding area with camping cite, boat lauch, public access, etc. Just a big and broad map for the region (Northwest, southwest, etc Montana). The reader has to follow and imagine where he's talking about only with his "blah-blah" way of writings. It's too hard for me to follow. It makes me assume "this is where author is talking about". And most of the time, along with the information from other guide books. I bought this because I wanted to explore where I don't know and look for information. If you are looking for fly-fishing guide to Montana, get Flyfisher's Guide by Chuck Robbins. It's WAY WAY better just adding some bucks. And then if you need information for Yellowstone area and Madison River, get guide books by Craig Mathews. There are a few positive reviews for this book but I DON'T recommend this. Whatever and whenever I buy things at Amazon and when I look for hot DVDs to rent in my area, I always check out editorial, production, and customers' reviews and they have given me right informaion. This is the only one that disappointed my expectation and excitement of shipment. And of course the purchase. SY

3.0 out of 5 stars Designed For Flyfishers Who Camp, May 16, 2007

This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing and Camping Guide (Paperback)
I'm not a camper so this was not the best flyfishing guide for me. It is oddly organized by the roads or highways you drive in various regions of Montana. There is a terrific opening section giving descriptions of the ten top attractor dry flys. Maps are fair at best -- river access points and bridge crossings are not identified. Some funny "war stories" by the author. All photos are black and white.
