Montana Fly Fishing And Camping Guide

With heart-stirring landscapes, benefits for physical and mental health and clean, cold water, Montana’s high country is truly the final frontier in the last best place. That is why Wilderness Adventures Press is excited to introduce this all-new guide to flyfishing southwest Montana’s mountain lakes. These underfished tarns host everything from wild 5-pound cutthroat to the elusive and challenging golden trout to the increasingly rare arctic grayling. Mix in the occasional trophy brookie and all the 12-inch cutts and rainbows you can catch and it becomes apparent that there is no shortage of opportunity. Author Joshua Bergan has spent years exploring these pristine highland gems. From fish and bugs present, to water conditions, hiking difficulty and the flies that work, this guide provides all the necessary information. A broad selection of drive-to lakes, short hikes and several-mile treks with overnights are laid out with GPS coordinates for the trailheads and destinations. The author’s driving directions get you to Point A and Wilderness Adventures Press’ highly-touted maps take it from there. This comprehensive guidebook covers over 250 highland lakes from the Absarokas to the Idaho border, including the Gallatin Range, Madison Range, Gravelly Range, Tobacco Roots, Pioneer Mountains, Beaverhead Mountains and other smaller ranges. Fishing mountain lakes isn’t for everyone, which is why it should be for you. Unleash a lifetime of new fishing spots with this outstanding new book.

Hundreds of pages fill each volume with full descriptions of all major waters in Montana. Learn how to get there, when to fish and what fly patterns to use. Photographs and maps accompany each major destination along with short descriptions of the surrounding waters and in-depth discussion of the necessary flies and tackle. Hatch charts are included, and often the species and size of fish to expect. In addition, each volume has a special lay-flat binding to make browsing new waters easy. You can fish successfully anywhere in Montana if you have this set of books. The "Montana Fly Fishing Guides" East & West are the first guidebooks of this kind for Montana. While there are a number of good general fishing guides, this two volume set is the first to focus specifically on fly fishing. Author John Holt has conducted exhaustive research on a wide array of Montana waters in the compilation of these books, covering not only Montana's famous blue-ribbon waters, but hundreds of lesser-known streams and lakes. Beyond the great volume of information in these books, John has infused them with his own unique (and often highly opinionated) style of writing. Anyone who loves fly fishing and who loves Montana will derive hours of pleasure and acquire a lot of valuable information from the "Montana Fly Fishing Guides".
