Reading Trout Streams; An Orvis Guide [Paperback]

Tom Rosenbauer (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

$11.95. sports To "read" a trout stream is to deduce from its visible clues what is happening beneath the surfacespecifically, where fish are likely to be and how they are likely to be oriented. Rosenbauer has produced close to the definitive work on a topic usually left to the experience of the fisherman, aided by articles or chapters in general fishing treatises. Recommended for large fishing collections, but not essential for smaller libraries. David J. Panciera, Westerly P.L., R.I.

Overall a great book! Filled with tons of great information.. Tom Rosenbauer writes some great books and this is one of them.. He really knows how to take his knowledge and put it onto paper in a way that the reader will understand... Definitely worth the read for a rookie or a veteran looking to know more about how and where trout sit in streams and why

As an angler often I forget that the first and perhaps most important step to catching fish is to read the water. Tom's in-depth explanations of how to do so is essential for any angler who wants to catch more fish. I reread this book at the start of every trout season, then often come back to it. Great illustrations.
