In Wyoming Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing Guide, author Greg Thomas takes the reader on a trip around this beautiful state, detailing endless angling possibilites.
Looking for large rainbow and brown trout? Take Thomas' advice and head for the North Platte River where rainbows and browns to five pounds or more can be found. Prefer native cutthroat trout in pristine surroundings with no more company than a wayward elk or deer? The author will send you to places like the Middle Fork Powder River or the Greybull River or Yellowstone's backcountry gems, such as the Lewis River Channel, Trout Lake, and the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone. Desire to angle while drifting a river in a boat or raft? Thomas details excellent float trips along such undiscovered gems as the Newfork, Green and Encampment rivers. It's all here, the angling possibilities of a lifetime.
reviewed: "Great Book!, I bought this book and really liked it. I read the previous review, and I guess that it's different strokes for different folks. To me, this is a great guide to the fishing possibilities within the state. It gives you enough to get you stoked up to go try a new river, or gives you the info to consider some of the small rivers you crossed over to get to the big name rivers. This book will direct you to many of the hinterland locations, and that's what I really like in a fly fishing location type book. There are great photographs throughout. I felt like I was there."

Fly Fishing the Madison
by Craig Mathews, Gary LaFontaine; 2002; paperback; 160pp
Flowing from its headwaters in Yellowstone National Park to Three Forks, Montana, where it joins the Jefferson and the Gallatin to form the mighty Missouri, the Madison River is one of the most famous, but also one of the most complicated, trout rivers in North America. This river can have different insect hatches every fifty yards, and ranges from a glassy, spring-fed stream to a tumbling torrent filled with rapids. Its complex variety of waters and habitat defies conventional fly-fishing techniques. In Fly Fishing the Madison, fly shop owner, guide, and noted author Craig Mathews demystifies the river, offering valuable insights and advice to first-time visitors and veterans alike.
reviewed:"A distillation of decades of experience Volume three in the oustanding Greycliff "River Books" series, Fly Fishing The Madison offers the aspiring angler a distillation of decades of experience, knowledge, and insight in this "user friendly" guide to fishing Montana's Madison river. Here is a wealth of information on the hatches, seasons, and reaches of the river, along with "tips, tricks & techniques" for unlocking the secrets of an surprisingly diverse river. The authors show how to fish the Madison with dry flies, nymphs, and streamers, as well as pointing out the right moments for each type of fly. Of special interest is Craig Mathews' contributions about fishing the Madison's two "stillwater" areas -- Hebgen Lake and Quake Lake. If you are planning an excursion to the Madison, begin by a thorough reading of Craig Mathews and Gary LaFontaine's Fly Fishing The Madison! Also very highly recommended for the angler's reference shelf are the other volumes in this outstanding series: Fly Fishing The Beaverkill; Fly Fishing The Henry's Fork; and Fly Fishing The Yellowstone In The Park."

Fishing the Beartooths
by Pat Marcuson; 1997; paperback; 186pp
"There are more than 1,000 lakes and streams in the magnificent Beartooth and Absaroka mountains. Many of these waters teem with colorful fish; others are barren. Some are easily accessible; others are rough to find. So how does an angler figure out where to go and how to get there? It's all here in the new, revised Fishing the Beartooths. This guide answers the question every angler asks before striking out for a high mountain lake. You'll find up-to-date stocking schedules, information on fish abundance, precise location coordinates, elevation, surface area, and maximum depth for each lake; plus clear descriptions of trails, distances, landmarks, terrain, and even availability of firewood-everything you need to plan your next fishing trip. No one but Pat Marcuson could have written Fishing the Beartooths. He spent ten years surveying and sampling these lakes for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Each page is enriched with Marcuson's first-hand descriptions, advice, humor, and knowledge of the area's history. Whether you're a seasoned veteran of these spectacular peaks and plateaus or a first-time visitor, Fishing the Beartooths will prove an indispensable reference today and for years to come.
reviewed:"A great guide book The author managed the fisheries and fish stocking program in the Beartooths for many years, and provides enormous detail in this book about every lake that has fish. There have been some changes since he wrote the first edition, and not all of them are noted in this latest edition (1997) but, overall, the info is great. I don't know of a similarly complete and authoritative fishing guide to any other wilderness area. One small gripe: this book talks solely about the lakes of the Beartooths without mentioning that some of the best fishing is in the feeder and outlet streams, some of them a long way from the nearest lakes."

Fishing Yellowstone National Park
by Richard Parks; 1998; paperback; 208pp
One of the more serene sights to behold in the landscape of Yellowstone National Park is the angler, standing in a stream, casting a fly or a lure, or reeling in a trout. Anglers aplenty wet their lines along the drives of the park, and far from the mainstream travel routes lie more waters where fishing is excellent. Fishing Yellowstone National Park tells the angler where to go-along the roads and off the beaten path-how to get there, which species of fish populate the lakes and streams, and what to tie on the end of the line for the best results. Richard Parks, a well-known local angler, has guided Yellowstone anglers from his fishing shop on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Gardiner, Montana, for more than 35 years.
In this comprehensive guide, Parks leaves no stone unturned, providing detailed information for anglers on the fishable streams and lakes in ever park watershed, including section-by-section descriptions of the major streams, recommended flies and lures for each body of water, time-tested tips on fishing techniques, numerous photos, and more than 50 large-scaled maps that show roads, trails, and fishing waters
reviewed:"Best guide for where
& when to fish Yellowstone, The best book on access points and times to go inside and outside the park. It provides many useful hints on further exploring you might do as well. It is a perfect complement to Craig Matthews' Yellowstone Fly Fishing Guide, which focuses more on hatches and flies rather than specific access to each stream or river."

The Yellowstone Fly-Fishing Guide
by Craig Mathews, Clayton Molinero; 1997; paperback; 176pp
This fine little guidebook to the best fishing in Yellowstone Park discusses aquatic and terrestrial insect emergences and activity periods, fly patterns to imitate these insects, and effective fishing techniques. Included are specific locations, access points and trailheads, distances, and terrain descriptions. The handy icons located at the beginning of each of the more than two hundred waters discussed provide helpful, at-a-glance information about fish type, ease of access, and wildlife to watch for. This book is required reading for any fly fisher planning a trip to Yellowstone Park - an area that holds more wild trout water for its size than anywhere else in the world. (6 X 9, 176 pages, b&w photos, maps, illustrations, charts, icons)
reviewed:"I call the book the bible for yellowstone This book is easy to use and extreamly useful. It splits the park up into four regions, tells you where (or not to) fish, and where to start looking in your flybox. I have used it the last 3 or 4 years and will use it as long as I vacation in Yellowstone. I have looked at several books on fishing in Yellowstone and this is by far the best that I have found."

Fishing Wyoming
by Ken Graham; 1998; paperback; 300pp
Seven species of trout swim in the mountain streams, alpine lakes, rivers, and reservoirs of Wyoming. Other species found in the state include kokanee, salmon, walleye, and pan-sized bass. From the sagebrush flats to the alpine basins, there are abundant waters to fish. You can reach some of them in your car. For the others, a requisite hike holds promise of solitude and hungry prey. Kenneth Graham knows these waters well and has collected details to help anglers plan a great trip. In Fishing Wyoming, he provides advice on where and when to fish, how to get there, and what kind of gear proves most effective for reeling in the catch. Graham describes more than 200 Wyoming fishing holes, including the best in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The book includes maps to help locate the sites, black-and-white photos, and descriptions of the 21 fish species you’ll find in Wyoming. If you’re angling in Wyoming, this book will help you find the best waters and find the fish.

Fly Fishing the North Platte River: An Angler's Guide
by Rod Walinchus; 1994; paperback; 232pp
"Walinchus does a good job of breaking this incredible river down into its smaller components. However, his synopsis lacks detail; for example he does list the dominate hatches and compatible flies but does not suggest sizes for all. He includes a few small maps for each section, but they too lack in detail. All in all this is a good guide book for a first timer to the area and will definitely help you catch more fish."

Kip Carey's Official Wyoming Fishing Guide
by Kip Carey; 2002; paperback; 288pp
Kip Carey's Official Wyoming Fishing Guide is the result of my belief that Wyoming deserves a separate book dedicated to all the quality waters of the state. Included are hundreds of new entries, as well as, completely updated information on previously documented waters from the Wind River, Bighorn River, Snake River, Green River, Sweetwater River, and North Platte River drainages; as well as, complete coverage of fishing waters in Yellowstone National Park and northeastern Wyoming. In other words, the entire state of Wyoming is contained in the book!
