Editorial Reviews

Review
“ Shook has compiled the mose complete to-date book on his native state’s freshwater fisheries." -- Houston Chronicle

“a where-to, not a how-to book, although Shook does include location-specific angling advice from his own experiences" -- Texas Parks & Wildlife

Product Description
This is by far the most COMPREHENSIVE travel/fly fishing guidebook to be published to date. This book covers Texas in its entirety from lakes, to rivers to the fish one will catch. Some of the lakes included are E.V. Spence, Possum Kingdom, O.H. Ivy, Corpus Christi, Lake Buchanan, Falcon, Lake Texoma, Sam Rayburn and more. Rivers included are the Guadalupe, Lanno, Rio Grande, Nueces, and the Sabinal. Shook also covers the fish of the Texas waters such as: Bass: Largemouth, Smallmouth, White, Guadalupe and Stiper as well as Panfish: Crappie, Trout and Catfish. There will be over 120 detailed lake and river maps showing lake depths, river access, campsites, and areas of special interest in addition to hatch charts, stream facts and recommended flies. As always this guidebook extensively covers essential travel information such as accommodations, campgrounds, listings for fly shops, restaurants, car repair and rental in addition to hospitals, airports and more. This book is the best yet and an essential guidebook for the Texas angler as well as for those visiting from out of state - a must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Angler's Guide to Texas, September 4, 2001
By Rod Viator (Round Rock, TX United States) - See all my reviews
I have been an avid flyfisher for some 30+ years and have read countless books on the topic. Phil Shook provides a very interesting perspective, and although his observations and directions are specific to Texas, he does provide an excellent basis for any angler's personal quest for solitary fishing waters. As well as being very well written, providing interesting and helpful information, as well as tips on flies and equipment, the book contains locations, accommodations, and meal planning advise. This book will certainly be an asset to any angler, pro or novice wishing to improve their catches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good list of sites, February 15, 2002
By Douglas L. Terry "Doug Terry" (Angleton, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does a very good job of listing fresh water fishing sites all over the state of Texas with information on what sort of fish to expect. It's geared to the fly fisherman of course but would be useful to anyone wanting to fish fresh waters of Texas. It list essentially all the rivers and lakes in the state and where the access points are. In a few cases it would be nice to have more specific instructions on how to get to the access point but it's still a very thorough listing of places to fish and what to expect when you get there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fly Fishers Guide to Texas by Phil Shook, November 20, 2001
By Constance Whiston (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
Wow! What a terrific book! Fly fishers all over the state
are talking about the most comprehensive book written for
fly fishing Texas. This is the book to carry in your vehicle
when off gallivating in the hill country, the pineywoods
or the gulf coast. Congratulations Phil!
