This is a revised and updated edition of Trout Streams of Alberta, with significant information from Blue Ribbon Bow incorporated into it. Included here are examinations of each watershed, focusing on the best opportunities that each provides—from wilderness cutthroat and grayling streams, to intimate brown-trout creeks, to internationally acclaimed rainbow rivers. Jim McLennan draws on nearly 50 years of fly-fishing experience to make sound recommendations on tackle, technique and fly patterns. The presentation is enhanced by detailed maps, colour and black and white illustrations, hatch charts and fly patterns, profiles of Alberta trout species, and explanations of how trout and trout streams operate. Written in an engaging, personal style, this is a book anglers will refer to frequently for vital information and will return to just as often for pleasure.
While there is often a pretty good selection of angling literature to be found at your local fishing retailer or Chapter’s outlet, including the majority of the most recent titles published, a great deal of the best fishing writing is no longer in print. I’ve had good luck in locating many hard to find titles by combing the shelves of antiquarian or used book stores, most of which have a fishing, outdoors or sports section. Other places to look for specific titles or authors include online sources, including eBay and AbeBooks.com
