5 out of 5 stars New Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park   April 15, 2004
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This first edition of Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park first appeared in 1996 and is out of print. A new, revised and expanded edition of Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park was released in May 2003 and is available now. It contains more than 100 destinations -- virtually every reasonably accessible place for fly fishing in Rocky Mountain National Park. Many thanks to readers for your continuing support of the new Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park.


3 out of 5 stars An introduction to fishing the Park   August 8, 2001
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book provides a basic introduction to fly fishing in Rocky Mountain National Park, but left me wanting for a lot more. The focus is on lake fishing, with little emphasis on the beautiful little streams throughout the park. The information on hatches and flies is sparse, something I'd expect a lot of information about from a book targeted at such a specific area. There's a lot devoted to casting, knot tying and general fly fishing technique that I found of little use, but that's not uncommon in this type of book. All in all, if you'd like to get started in RMNP, this is a decent way to go, but realize going in that there is a lot missing here.


5 out of 5 stars Great book (recomendation from a local)   January 6, 2000
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book is a phenomenal find. I live just 25 miles south of Rocky Mountain National Park. Each year, for the past three years, I sit down with my fishing buddies, we open up Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park: An Angler's Guidebook, and plan approximately eight trips to the "park" using this book as our guide. So far the trips have been fantastic. Every year the question is raised "How can we go to another spot when the last trip was so great?" The guidebooks advice never fails us, have faith, read the book and GO! I have caught Colorado River cut throat, green back cut throat, rainbow, brown trout and brookies. The book is well written and will serve as a guide for anglers wanting easy, moderate and difficult hikes. A must buy for someone who doesn't know the area. I am looking for a recommendation for Yellowstone.


2 out of 5 stars Short on destinations, long on fly-fishing basics   August 14, 1999
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Only 27 pages devoted to actual RMNP destinations and the rest a basic beginners guide to flyfishing. Better than nothing, but I recommend stopping by the Estes Angler for some real advice.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent reference, and essential to fish the RMN Park!!   April 8, 1999
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

5 stars! I've used Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park since it came out in 1996, as have many of my friends in Colorado. It's clearly written, with practical advice and first-rate directions. The park's a big place, and you could spend a lifetime exploring the book's 30-plus destinations. I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
