Summary: Don't waste words...
Review: "With just slightly less vigor than that of the Moors when they took Spain, the chironomid-pupa fly fished deep on a floating line took western lakes." This is just a sample of the hair-pulling sentences that the reader must endure. While I give the book two stars for providing some useful content and a few inspiring photos, the nuggets of information are buried too deep in the poorly written chapters, superfluous paragraphs, wide text columns and amateur drawings. I have just one question: Where's the editor? I doubt that I'll purchase another book by Frank Amato Publications. It's just too frustrating a read.

Summary: A Difference of Opinion
Review: I found this book to be quite useful. It is indeed a beginning text on the subject but if you, like myself, have spent most of your time fishing on streams you will find this a good jumping off point for fishing small lakes. There is much useful information in this book covering the nature of small lakes and the trout that you will find there. Specific information is given on the insects found there and their imitations. Basic techniques are covered as well as fishing craft. I would recommend it for someone starting out with lake fishing.
