Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Anyone who fly-fishes Montana--or plans to--should own copies of this useful guide and its western companion. A complete inventory of Montana's fly-fishing waters east of the Continental Divide, Montana Fly Fishing Guide moves across the state, drainage by drainage, devoting plenty of space to the main river of each watershed as well as the many tributaries, small streams, reservoirs, and alpine lakes that frequently get left out of other guidebooks. The maps are large and easy to use, and the fishing descriptions cover seasonal variations, river conditions, and preferred fly patterns. Also included are travel suggestions, river access, etiquette and rules, and a hatch chart. Both the eastern and western editions are superb guides to one of the world's best places to cast a fly. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

"John Holt has turned his gonzo, exploration-driven approach to flyfishing into a boon for other anglers."-- Daryl Gadbow, The Missoulian

2.0 out of 5 stars I felt ripped off., July 30, 2006
This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing Guide East: East of the Continental Divide (Paperback)
I own the 1995 and 1996 editions of Holt's East and West guide books. Recently I bought the "2002" editions. Other than the cover and correcting a few errors, they are the same. The books themselves are of average value. A better choice is the Flyfisher's Guide to Montana.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reprinted not Updated, January 30, 2006

G. Martin (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing Guide East: East of the Continental Divide (Paperback)
I ordered both the East and West Books by Holt. The copyright was 1995 and 1996. I called Lyons Press and these are the most recent books available. Lyons Press just reprinted them in 2002, but nothing was updated or rewritten from the original books. So beware, the content is 10+ years old, even though the covers are 2002 vintage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, September 9, 2005
This review is from: Montana Fly Fishing Guide East: East of the Continental Divide (Paperback)
From a practical standpoint this book is almost totally useless. There are pages upon pages of descriptions of the sections of 7 or 8 major rivers in the area. These descriptions are journalistic at best. Poor maps, poorly organized, and otherwise lacking in the type of solid information one looks for in a guide book. A loser in this genre, voyeuristic at best. I'm no better off for having bought this book.
