Lake Trout: North America's Greatest Game Fish

Rating:
Summary: The definitive book on lake trout fishing
Review: A "must own" volume for anyone who pursues - or has an interest in - lake trout (which Shickler and Eveland term "North America's Greatest Gamefish").
Chapters trace the history of trout and trout fishing. Methodology, tackle, and locations are covered. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of the book is the authors' style of interweaving tales of trout fishing and the great outdoors. Merely reading the account of Lloyd Bull's record 72 pound moster will have you booking your next trip!
Reading LAKE TROUT is like taking a mini fly-in trip for yourself: You'll become absorbed in the material, insulated from your everyday world, and yearning to head out and wet a line...

Summary: A Great Book
Review: This is simply the most comprehensive book on lake trout written. The authors approach the topic from a scientific view. However the practical points (i.e., tackle) about catching the fish along with a entertaining sidelights (epic battles by record-holders) make this book a "must read" for serious fisherman. I feel that something more could have been written about the "Niagara Bar", the Great Lakes and some other Canadian Lakes (i.e. Reindeer Lake)as lake trout fisheries but this does little if anything to detract from what has been presented.
