| The Kennebec, Penns Creek, South
Holston, White River, Firehole, Copper River - these streams and
ninety-four
others like them provide the best trout fishing in the United States,
say
members of Trout Unlimited (TU). With a dozen or more streams in each
of
eight regions, one of America's hundred best trout streams flows within
a few hours' drive of most of the nation's anglers. These are the
rivers
that fire anglers' dreams. Where to fish, when to go, which fly or lure
to use - anglers will find it all in each profile along with a map and
lists of tackle shops, relevant books, and accommodations. Readers will
learn, as well, about environmental challenges facing each stream and
the
role that TU and others play in protecting the fishery. Extensive
interviews
with anglers for whom each stream is "home water" add depth to
observations
by award-winning writer and angler John Ross.
Many who buy the book set out to
fish all the streams. For others, the guide is an essential ingredient
in planning fishing and family vacations. It's a book that's as at home
next to a fly tyer's bench as it is tucked into the console between the
seats of a pickup truck. A portion of the sale of each book goes to TU
to help conserve and protect coldwater fisheries.
