Summary: Nice travel book
Review: Book has some info, but not much in the way of specifics. A general travel book,not really a fishing book. Very disappointed.

Summary: An OUTSTANDING resource for the exploration of Arizona Trout
Review: Here is the best tip that I can give anyone for fly fishing Arizona, ready? Buy it! Try buying it right here you won't find it in the shops yet. Get your credit card out, and type me a message right now telling me "thank you" so you don't have to hold yourself up e-mailing adam while you are getting ready to explore all the wonderful opportunities that are exposed in this book. I am absolutely impressed! In 1999, no less than three books on Arizona Fly Fishing have been released for the public. This book is a MUST HAVE for any fly fisher in the state of Arizona. If you have to buy one book, this is it. It is my favorite, did I say that? For those of you visiting the state, this resource is definitely one that puts you in touch with more information than most of the locals. Mr Johnson is obviously a very keen Arizona explorer with a fly rod. In a nutshell, you will not find any careless meanderings, no miss marked maps, just a Christopher Columbus of fly fishing here in our state. Gee's this guy has been around. The answers are there for questions that are very close to my heart. I will not go into detail about this book other than I TOLD YOU SO! Do you want Arizona Trout???

Summary: Yes, Virginia, there are trout in AZ, even in July
Review: Most people in AZ live in Phoenix, many are from somewhere else, and most haven't found out about the trout streams in the White Mountains. Rex Johnson has, and his book is an invitation to come see for yourself, that you can catch real wild trout in this hottest and most arid of states, even if you live in Phoenix and come from the midwest. You just have to be open to new things. Get it?

Summary: It works!
Review: The first thing I did after reading this book was simple: I picked two or three of Rex Johnson's favorite streams, none of which I'd ever before read of or heard about, and I tried them myself. Results? Excellent! One stream (to remain anonymous) was about the best experience in trout-fishing I've ever had. Now I've adopted it as my own "secret" stream. I only wish Arizona Trout book were longer, and with better maps.
