Fishing Idaho, An Angler's Guide

Rating:
Summary: This book is a great catch.
Review: Fishing Idaho, An Angler's Guide is one of the most useful guide books I've ever had the pleasure to read. Mr. Evancho has gone to great lengths to cover every river, stream and lake in the state of Idaho. He does so without giving away any secret fishing holes, but the information is there for the determined angler to find those special places on his or her own. The book also includes other information useful to anyone plying the backroads of Idaho -- information on camping, boat ramps and air strips. You can tell that a lot of work went into producing this fine book. It makes a great gift for the angler on your list.

Summary: Outstanding in its detail and description of Idaho fishing
Review: I don't need 1,000 words to describe this book. Just one: TERRIFIC. I purchased the book in Michigan, traveled to Idaho and found the information to be super good--from finding fishing spots based on written directions and maps. Accomodattion informtion was right on and Idaho is definitely a beautiful place. The book shows and tells how to go about fishing in Idaho whether you fish with flies or hardware or bait.

Summary: A must for a visitor to Idaho. Usable, complete, & smart...
Review: I just completed my first extended visit to Idaho. I bought this book not expecting much, like most fishing books...This is the exception! I was able to select some out of the way spots, and I was never let down! I rented boats, found access, met lesbians (oh just kidding) The BEST fishing book I've read to date! Bob Aydelott

Summary: A good but not great guide to Idaho waters
Review: While this book is useful, I feel it falls short in a number of areas. The evaluations of the major waters are good, but those of the various secondary streams and lakes are cryptic, maybe necessarily so, and there are virtually no directions to any of these. The reader is given the name of a secondary stream or lake and a couple of lines evaluation. No directions, not even a general location other than the large portion of the state in which they are grouped. Joe Evancho appears to know what he is talking about, but he doesn't do a good job of passing that information on to the reader. I would rate this book about 3 stars (out of 5) and could recommend it if you don't have access to Retallic and Barker's Flyfisher's Guide to Idaho.
