B/w photographs by Dan Callaghan, brief bibliography. Slightly creased and bumped but good second-hand paperback. "The Madison, the Gallatin, the Firehole, Henry's Fork of the Snake, the Gibbon, Slough Creek, the Yellowstone - these and a score of other rivers (more than 2,000 miles of them) within a hundred-mile radius make West Yellowstone, Montana, the 'trout mecca' of the world. Charlie Brooks, a long-time resident of the area, has pooled his incisive knowledge of fishing and rivers with superb photographer Dan Callaghan to produce the first major fisherman's guide to the region. In [this book] you will learn the fabled pools on these famous rivers, the insect hatches, the best flies to use (and when), the most effective methods of fishing each river and the most fruitful times. There are some especially useful appendixes that list the most popular flies, based on a poll of local tackle dealers made by the authors. Too many people travel long distances to this area but lack the specific knowledge needed to make their trip as productive as it might be. This book can help. But it is also for all fishermen who dream of someday fishing these marvelous, productive waters." .…
