| An indispensable reference book if you intend to flyfish in the Tahoe area. It provides succinct info on specific rivers & lakes; what maps to use how to venture there. Some waters are well-known, others bordering on "secret" by locals. Written in easy prose it informs the fly angler what types of trout they'll encounter, their size ranges, techniques & even what flies they'll eat. Steven also includes vignettes of personal experience which makes for interesting reading. I have been a professional flyfishing guide & instructor in the Tahoe-Truckee area since 1984. I know this area well. Some of these waters that appear in the book have piqued my interest, because I've never wet a fly in them. I make it a habit of reading everything written about flyfishing this area; IMO this is the best & most useful book ever published about flyfishing the Tahoe region. Frank R.
