Best Colorado Fish Book on the Market!!! July 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read the reviews and checked out Marty a bit before buying this book. It was everything I wanted and more. This really is a must buy if you want to fish Colorado. It is laid out in a easy to read fashion with all the information you could want for your fishing trip. It is like you have a local guide in you pocket telling you what fish to hunt in each river and what they will be eating throughout the day. You won't be disappointed buying this book.
Don't leave home without it! August 2, 2004
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is the essential guide for any fly fisherman who lives in or is planning a trip to Colorado. I am a recent transplant to CO and have been stumbling through trying to figure our my local streams. The amount of private property in this state is depressing with no fish/hunting signs everywhere (compared to my home state of Oregon)and going on road trips with the hopes of fishing can be quite frustrating. This book describes, with maps and hatch charts for all the major and many of the minor streams in the state where to go and when and then what to use once there. I can now take a road trip without the frustration of running into private land everywhere and find good fishing.
This is the ultimate travel companion for fly fishing in Colorado, don't leave home without it.
A Must Have for Fly Fishing in Colorado March 18, 2003
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Marty Bartholomew has not only proven himself as pro for Ross Reels and Scott Rods, an elite fly tyer, and one of the classiest individuals in the fly fishing industry, but he has now proven that he can write the most informative book available on fly fishing in Colorado. As a former fly fishing instructor, I often referred to this book as "The Bible on Fly Fishing in Colorado." Bartholomew attacks every aspect of the waters covered in this book from where to fish it, what to use, how to get there, when hatches are taking place, and even where to park. The Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado essentially takes the reader on a guided trip to the water he or she desires. This book is certainly a must have.

This book "The Fly Fisher's Guide To Colorado", is a book that stands alone in a sea of fly fishing books. A well written book indeed as author Marty Bartholomew, takes you on adventures throughout the state of Colorado. Every detail is in the book as well from hatch charts to hospital locations it is all in here. This is the most complete book I own, period. I feel this is the best choice if you are in the Colorado region, to get all the facts. There are many different versions, about various states, so many others won't miss out on these great books. I as well, met Marty at the Denver expo, a true class act!
Good planning book February 15, 2002

I bought this book to begin planning a trip to Colorado for a week of fly fishing. This book is a good place to start. It gives a good run down of pretty much all the rivers, creeks and lakes in the state, what to expect there, what sort of fish are there, fishing expectations and hatches for different times of the season, successful flies and information on getting there - such as the road may be muddy and impassible in wet seasons. It even tells you what sort of goods and services are available in near by towns. Anyone fishing in Colorado would benefit from the book but I particularly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Colorado and are yet unfamiliar with fishing there.
