5.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth the money.,

This review is from: Trout Streams of Alberta (Paperback)
The book reads like a novel. First book I have encountered that explains the "why" of using a certain fly. If you never fish an Alberta stream, the Chapter on a trout's lifecycle is worth the cost of the book alone. If you pursue trout, this book is for you!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not what you'd think,

This review is from: Trout Streams of Alberta (Paperback)
This is not at all a bad book, for what it is. But what it is is not really "Trout Streams of Alberta" but more like "A Beginner's Guide to Fly-Fishing (especially in Alberta)".Only about 100 pp. are on the rivers of Alberta (not much on "streams"). The rest is a general intro to fishing, spinning and fly-fishing. Nice plates of the author's favorite flies. Some interesting stories.
