Flyfisher Guide to Idaho Flyfisher Guides Flyfisher Guide Series Ken Retallic Rocky Barker 9781932098815 Books Reviews

• This book does not give you much detail on what the water is like at different areas on the rivers. Not many statistics from the fisheries work that has been done on the rivers, such as population estimates. Does not give out statistics on angling effort on different stretches of the rivers. All of these things could have been found out for free by contacting fish and game department. The maps could have shown more detail too.
• I have fished in seven states, East, Midwest and West, and have read all the major guides. This guide is one of the best, if not the best, because of its coverage and accurate detail of the major rivers down to out of the way creeks. The lure of Idaho for me is its remote fishing venues. This guide introduces them, then gets you there with all the info to stay comfortably. This is not to say the "Big Boys" ( Snake, Henry,s Fork, Silver creek, Boise, Clearwater ) are given short shrift.Indeed, they are given the blue ribbon treatment they deserve. Stream conditions, wading, drifting, bottom conditions, hatches, suggested flies, and stream access are all covered in detail. Maps are good. You will not have enough time in your fishing life , unfortunately , to use all the info in this fine guide.
• Gave as a gift and recipient had nose buried in book for hours. That says it all.
• If you live in or are planning a fly fishing trip to Idaho this book is a must. Maps, historical fishing info, and best flies to use.
• This book was extremely helpful when planning our Idaho trip. In retrospect, it has been interesting to compare our experience with the author's detail. With the history the author documented, I developed an appreciation for the fish and fishing in the St Joe.
• Love this book, must have for any fly fisherman.
• Excellent resource for planning a great fishing trip.
• I use this book all the time when I plan my fly fishing outings. It won't tell you which rock to stand on, but it is a great overview of the best fly fishing waters in Idaho. The author does a good job at covering waters that hold warm and cold water species. He also does a good job at talking about rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. So if you are a river or still water fisherman it will come in handy.
