Tactics for fishing high country lakes, the conflicting currents of
high mountain streams, and the ever-changing waters of beaver ponds
Cutthroats, brook trout, goldens, rainbows, grayling The best
weather and seasons to fish and the tackle and flies to take into
the high country
"The mountains--any mountains--can make you pay for your fishing
with time, shoe leather, exertion, and even disappointment. But
they usually give back more than they take in terms of solitude and
a sense of adventure that you just won't find on more civilized
waters." --John Gierach
Fly-fishing in scenic and remote mountain waters is a special
kind of fishing, explored in depth by veteran fly fisher John
Gierach. Along with "Fly Fishing Small Streams" (0-8117-2290-2),
this guide, Gierach's first book, now in print with Stackpole
Books, explains how to find the best waters and how to fish them to
the best advantage.
