Exploring Wisconsin Trout Streams: The Angler's Guide

Many fish-and-tell books suffer from either not enough information (the trailhead is where?) or too much detail, and sometimes an annoying combination of both. The reader is left wondering about the bigger picture and the finer points of the resource and local opportunities to experience it. Not so with this book. It is painstakingly researched and very well presented. The resource and conservation overview is integrated with specific and useful information on streams, hatches, and techniques. The book is well-written and generally enjoyable to read, as well as being a good reference for beginners to advanced flyfishers. It is clear that the authors know their home waters and have great love for them. I highly recommend this book to those wanting to know more about the excellent fly fishing and cold water resources in Wisconsin.

I've read two or three books about catching trout in Wisconsin, and this book is the most informative. There are detailed illustrations, including a hatch chart with all of the best bug hatches in the state. They also have detailed descriptions of some of the finest trout waters in Wisconsin. Good for the beginning angler as well, because the book gives good tips on starting gear and techniques. I found it extremely helpful. If you're planning on trout fishing in Wisconsin this book is a must.
