5.0 out of 5 stars The best rivers in Michigan, March 15, 2003

By	"duckrus1" (Battle Creek, MI) - See all my reviews

This guide was originally published in 1985 and has been a valuable resource as I have wandered around Northern Michigan. It's details are as factual today as when first written. The details of every launch and entrance to each river is remarkable. I've fished many of the spots and have found the descriptives to be right on. I just wish I was a better fly fisherman. I keep this book with me and even make notes in it. I highly recommend this for any experience level.

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 Classic Trout Streams in Michigan, July 6, 2009

By	R. Ritter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Twelve Classic Trout Streams in Michigan: A Handbook for Fly Anglers (Paperback)

If you go trout fishing in Michigan, this is the book you want to read. There's a lot of history included and the information provided about access points, river bottom, water depths, and current are invaluable. I carry this book with me when I go fishing in Michigan. This is a re-write of an earlier version of the book and the re-write is very well done.

Absolutely unique! Nothing else comes close to the coverage and expertise of the writer who was state hydrologist for the USGS.
