This book is overdue but well worth the wait. The writing is excellent as are the color photos. For a flyfisherman who wants to add to his/her enjoyment, this book provides good information and flies. Yes, the book's focus is localized but the thoughts and flies are universal. A book to be enjoyed and re-visited.

Its nice to see Rene's excellent articles from the fly fishing jls in the US and Japan appear in hardcover. The collection is definately worth having for the angler/book collector. I am enjoying reading these artcles though the fly designs and patterns are no surpises - standard Harrop stuff. Well written and interesting, a must for the Hnery's Fork Angler and serious Spring Creek person. Buy it with Mike Lawson's spring Creek book, both are well done. Minor Cons: Could have used a detailed bibliography, more relevant pictures.

A great book for any level of fly fisherman. The stories and images will make you want to hit the river now!!! If you a tier, it will become a reference book for future patterns.

Few anglers have had as impressive an impact on a single river as Harrop. Hidden beneath the tales lie an undeniable love of the Henry's Fork, its history, and its inhabitants. This book is sure to become a classic. A great read with much to teach.
