About this title

From Library Journal:

"The Missouri is a good river for a fly fisher." This is not a typical line in the often rarefied world of fly fishing literature but, refreshingly, this book is hardly typical. Twenty-five years joyously chasing fish over the "best trout waters in the world" led Holt to describe the fish, habitat, environment, and techniques most likely to produce trout in 13 of his favorite Montana rivers. The anecdotes of his varied experiences are written with self-deprecating humor, combined with an extensive knowledge of riverine and watershed habitat. He describes successes, mistakes, even embarrassments, which resulted in a "steady learning curve that has applied to more than chasing trout." He also notes that logging, mining, irrigation, and other threats can destroy a river in less than a year. Highly recommended for any fly fisher drawn toward Montana waters in dream or reality.
