Fly Fishing the South Platte River

Rating:
Summary: Excellent guide
Review: I found the book extremely informative. The reputation of the South Platte is that of a stream with very selective trout. This book saved me years of guesswork and research.
The files that are recommended are essential to success. The first time I visited the South Platte I was armed with the arsenal of size 24's and 26's files and went home after landing about a dozen fish. Thanks Roger!!

Summary: In need of an update and better graphics
Review: The material is a bit dated. Can you say Two Forks dam~! I was greatly disappointed in the minimal discussion on the specific sections of the river. His discussion on the flies and such was quite good, but I really wanted something with a bit more depth talking about the various stretches and the different type of entomology.
