More Information
Montana offers fly fishers more than a little bit of everything. From classic rivers holding trophy rainbows and browns to high-country wilderness lakes filed with unsophisticated native cutthroats, out to high plains reservoirs and their own windswept version of this sometimes arcane pursuit, Montana present several lifetimes of angling experiences.
With so much to fishand so little time to do sofly fishers need John Holts Montana Fly Fishing Guides, East and West. Both are irreplaceable references that offer everything a fly fisher needs for the ultimate Montana fishing experience. Here is concise, accurate information for out-of-staters confronted with a mind-numbing variety of choices and those fortunate Montanans looking to expand their horizons on quality waters waiting quietly over the next range of mountains or hiding in some out-of the-way coulee.
