Eastern Sierra Fishing Guide for Day Hikers

Summary: A priceless guide to heaven on earth.
Review: Barbier's book has opened up a whole new world to me. It's a fantastic, accessible, yet underutilized world away from all that ails our gotta have it now society.

The guide at the back of the book tells so much in so little space--it lists distances to each lake, the type of fish there, difficulty, region of the sierras, and more. This, like so much of the book, understates its value. Mr. Barbier's brief comments about essential gear, lures, fishing etiquette, mosquito avoidance, has taught me more than I've been able to learn on my own after too many trials and even more errors.

This is not a fisherman's only guide. Every hiker, backpacker, and naturalist who appreciates the beauty of discovering an unspoiled lake in the least likely places, high in the sierras, would do well to use this straightforward, beautifully simple book.

Write on, Mr. Barbier. You have a wonderful story to tell!

Review: Here's a real flyfisherman that has allowed each one of us into his own backyard. Mr Barbier's book, Eastern Sierra Guide for Day Hikers' tells his secrets on where to go, how to get there and what to use for a memorable day on the water. The Day Hikers' Guide has become my bible in the Sierra.
