Native Trout of North America

Robert Smith asks anglers to pause and reconsider the results of 100+ years of stocking trout outside their native ranges. Today native trout are rare, endangered, and sometimes extinct because of competition and interbreeding with exotics. In this highly entertaining memoir-travelogue, Smith recounts his experiences in tracking down, catching and photographing some fifty varieties of trout native to North America, from Charr well north of the arctic circle to varieties of trout barely known to science that live on the edge of the tropics in the Sierra Madre range of Mexico. The book also happens to be a great bargain at $15!
