Montana offers fly fishers more than a little bit of everything. From classic rivers holding trophy rainbows and browns to high-country wilderness lakes filled with unsophisticated native cutthroats, out to high plains reservoirs and their own windswept version of this sometimes arcane pursuit, Montana presents several lifetimes of angling experiences.

With so much to fish - and so little time to do so - fly-fishers need John Holt's Montana Fly-Fishing Guide East, an irreplaceable reference that offers 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.

Features include: full descriptions of every major river; descriptions (how to get there, when to fish, and what to fish) of all important streams and lakes within the major drainages - hundreds of waters; great maps of all drainages; hatch charts for important mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies; comprehensive fly recommendations for each major water. (8 1/2 x 11, 288 pages, b&w photos, maps)

Anyone who fly-fishes Montana-or plans to-should own copies of this useful guide and its eastern companion. A complete inventory of Montana's fly-fishing waters west of the Continental Divide, Montana Fly Fishing Guide moves across the state, drainage by drainage, devoting plenty of space to the main river of each watershed as well as the many tributaries, small streams, reservoirs, and alpine lakes that frequently get left out of other guidebooks. The maps are large and easy to use, and the fishing descriptions cover seasonal variations, river conditions, and preferred fly patterns. Also included are travel suggestions, river access, etiquette and rules, and a hatch chart. Both the eastern and western editions are superb guides to one of the world's best places to cast a fly.

How does an angler know when and where to fish, how to get there, and what kind of gear will reel in the catch? The answers are all here in Fishing Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park offers some of the most beautiful and exciting sport fishing in Montana. Trout, whitefish, grayling, and pike swim in the park's pristine alpine lakes, powerful rivers, and meandering streams.

In this volume, Montana angler, fishing guide, and author Russ Schneider shares his intimate knowledge of this angler's paradise. This guide provides descriptions of more than 250 lakes, rivers, and streams within the park and answers the questions every angler asks before striking out. Look inside to find: site descriptions, including the species present and the best times to fish; tips on techniques, lures, flies, bait, and tackle; information about trails, distances, terrain, availability of campgrounds, river access, and regulations; maps and photos; an illustrated section describing the habits and habitats of Glacier's game fish. Whether you're planning an afternoon or a week of angling adventures, take Fishing Glacier National Park along for the trip. (6"x9", 174 pages, b&w photos, illustrations, maps, icons)
