Anyone who fly-fishes Montana--or plans to--should own copies of this useful guide and its eastern companion. A complete inventory of Montana's fly-fishing waters west of the Continental Divide, Montana Fly Fishing Guide moves across the state, drainage by drainage, devoting plenty of space to the main river of each watershed as well as the many tributaries, small streams, reservoirs, and alpine lakes that frequently get left out of other guidebooks. The maps are large and easy to use, and the fishing descriptions cover seasonal variations, river conditions, and preferred fly patterns. Also included are travel suggestions, river access, etiquette and rules, and a hatch chart. Both the eastern and western editions are superb guides to one of the world's best places to cast a fly.
Product Description
An irreplaceable reference that offers everything a fly fisher needs for the ultimate western Montana fishing experience; illustrated with great maps and hatch charts.

I ordered both the East and West Books by Holt. The copyright was 1995 and 1996. I called Lyons Press and these are the most recent books available. Lyons Press just reprinted them in 2002, but nothing was updated or rewritten from the original books. So beware, the content is 10+ years old, even though the covers are 2002 vintage.
 Very outdated!!! June 9, 2005

First, FIX THE DATE IN THE DESCRIPTION AMAZON!!!!!
In spite of Loopy's warning I ordered this book in hopes he had just received old inventory. Wrong! I received the same 1995 book and when I complained to Amazon they sent me a replacement. Another 1995 book. While the information in the book appears good, it's describing conditions over 10 years old which could be a lifetime for a trout stream. The Clark Fork, for example, is described as "teetering between two possible futures-magnificence and ruin." My online research has indicated the Clark Fork has continued to recover nicely from the heavy metal runoff from the mining but if this book were my only guide I would be skeptical about including it as a destination for my trip.
If this book were up to date I would give it at least 4 stars. But considering the age I would recommend you pass and search for other sources.
 Outstanding guidebook. May 11, 2005

A very well-written, thorough review of what is simply an immense topic. I just recently moved to western Montana, and I've found the guide an extremely useful reference.

I just got this book and have not begun to read it but the first thing I noticed was that the copywrite date is way off. The book I got was published in 1995, but the web site says 2002. A lot can change in 10 years. I am debating as to whether to return it and get a newer book.

You really can't go wrong with this book. It is invaluable and the information is original and entertaining.
My only negative is I would have liked the option of buying a more epxensive book with full color photos and more scenery shots of each river.
