Guide to Fly Fishing in Utah

Summary: The first and only!
Review: Just in time for Utah's great fall fly fishing is the latest No Nonsense fly fishing guidebook. The guide packs a lot of information into 77, large format pages. Detailed maps of each fly water show how to get there and where to fish.

The guide offers a quick, clear understanding of 22 fly fishing waters in Utah, not a lot of other "background" information or falderall. This includes the low down on the top, and the lesser-known waters in Utah's mountains, high desert and plains.

Mr. Schmidt is qualified to direct fly anglers around the Beehive State. Schmidt owns and operates Western Rivers Fly Shop, the best source of fly fishing information and gear in Salt Lake City. Steve is an avid outdoorsman and among the most knowledgeable fly fishers in the state. His 24 plus years of travels throughout Utah seem to always included a fly rod and time to explore fishing. His years of experience, notes and contacts blend into a comprehensive explanation of the top fly fishing Utah has to offer.

The "Dean of the Green", fly fishing guide Emmett Heath contributed facts and figures to the section covering The Green, Utah's storied tailwater. This input is extremely valuable for anyone planning to take on the Flaming Gorge to Red Canyon waters.

Summary: Good for northern Utah
Review: Living in southwest Utah this book was not very informitive but it does cover some of the hot spots up north. My only real complaint is the author shows a picture of a tiger trout and identifies it as a splake. For the most part this book has good information.
