Customer Reviews

Excellent reference guide
I am a guide and fly fisherman in SE Minnersota and still refer to this book when I explore new water. Almost as good as having a guide with you. Mel Hayner MINNESOTAFLYFISHING.COM

A must have
This book is fantastic. The author literally fished almost every stream and wrote about them. The book is filled with photos and maps to help get a visual on what he is describing about each stream. I also found helpful the places to stay and eat he suggested. Make notes of your own next to each stream he wrote about. A must have when scouting new trout streams.

Fantastic guidebook.
This book offers a comprehensive guide to all the major trout streams in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area. Well written with fantastic advice.
