Trout Fishing

Very informative, details very easy to understand. I am extremely glad that I bought this book.

A Remarkable Book

This book chronicles the history of the Catskill Mountains in New York through the ribbon of trout fishing since its inception in the US. It is a fascinating story told by the King of the Delaware, Ed Van Put. This story will hold the attention of ardent fisherman and history buffs alike. The photography is beautiful and I learned so much about the plight of the fish and it's environs through the last 200 years. Any fisherman would be thrilled to cast a line around this book.

Good book worth every penny

This is a very interesting, informative and entertaining book. I live on the northern edge of the catskills and have fished many of the places mentioned. I really enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to anyone who loves trout fishing.
