Product Description |
| Yosemite National Park is no doubt one of the most spectacular places to cast a line; as the author to this thorough fishing guide writes in his introduction, "Looking down at a colorful rainbow in the net, then looking up at a 1,400 foot waterfall, is the kind of experience that most people will remember always." With maps and detailed trail instructions, the Yosemite Trout Fishing Guide provides the angler who enjoys getting off the beaten track with directions to all sorts of water within the park, including rivers, creeks, and alpine lakes (there are also driving directions to areas near the few roads). In addition, the guide covers plenty of strategies and techniques to improve your chances once you get to your chosen destination. |

 The Bible On Yosemite Fishing |
| Review Date: July 12, 1999 |
| Reviewer: , |
| I have come across a few books on California fishing that briefly mention Yosemite, but they are never specific. This book does a great job of breaking the park down into sections, making it easy to find your destination. This is the Bible of Yosemite's waters. There is no better place to drop a line than Yosemite..... the entire park is unlike anything you'll ever see. I have been fishing in the park for over 10 years now, and while the quality of fishing has decreased a bit over the years..... it is still worth doing. The best fishing is usually a solid hike away (10 mile round trip), but alternatives exist. If you promise to catch-and-release only, I'll let you in on a little secret. Try fishing my favorite lake.... Upper Sardine. It is just outside of the park.... about a 1/4 mile past Mono Pass. Our last trip out there resulted in over 40 fish in one afternoon. The only criticism of this book is its lack of an index. Best of luck on your trip! |
An excellent guide.

| I have had the opportunity of exploring some of the areas described in this well written guide. Although no words could do the beauty of the region justice, Steve Beck does an excellent job of getting you there to see it for yourself. I found his descriptions right on the money and his recommendations well worth following. I highly recommend this guide to all fisher-people, especially if you have the opportunity to go to Yosemite. |
a great resource for expert and novice

| Reviewer: Rod Webster, Merced, Gateway to Yosemite |
| Thorough and authoritative, readable and entertaining. I know Steve personally and can vouch for the extensive research that went into making this rewarding guide. He has fished the park top to bottom, roadside to trailside. This book is a compilation of decades of love with the Park and the art of fly-fishing. His complete trailside descriptions insure that getting to the fish is as much a pleasure as the fun once there. The accuracy of Steve's fish surveys has stood the test of numerous presentations to flyfishing clubs and sportsman shows. He has a new book on fishing the John Muir trail that looks to be just as entertaining and useful a planning guide. |

| Reviewer: Rod Webster, Merced, Gateway to Yosemite |
| Thorough and authoritative, readable and entertaining. I know Steve personally and can vouch for the extensive research that went into making this rewarding guide. He has fished the Park top to bottom and roadside to trailside. This book is a compilation of almost two decades of love with Yosemite and the art of fly-fishing. His complete trailside descriptions ensure that getting to the fish is as much a pleasure as the fun once there. The accuracy of Steve's fishing information has stood the test of numerous presentations to fly-fishing clubs and sportsman shows. Am I biased? Undoubtedly, but that doesn't mean what I say isn't true. Check it out yourself- this is a great guide for novice (that's me) and expert alike. Steve also has a new book on fishing the John Muir Trail coming out this Feb. I suspect it will prove to be just as entertainig a read and useful a guide for that famous "walk". |
Great Reference for Planning a Backpack Trip for Novices

| Review Date: April 8, 2000 |
| Reviewer: , |
| The beauty of Yosemite is beyond words. Simply touring the most frequented spots gives one a sense of awe. After taking my 3 sons there for a first time visit, I wanted to plan a short backpack/fishing trip for them to enjoy a more in-depth experience with Yosemite. They were anxious to experience Yosemite more thoroughly. The Yosemite Trout Fishing Guide was just the resource I needed to plan the trip. The details in the book were incredible. It was obvious the author has a thorough knowledge of Yosemite, not to mention deep love and respect for the natural wonder of Yosemite. This is a good reference book to have on Yosemite. |
This is the only book I could find on Yosemite fishing

| Review Date: June 1, 2007 |
| Reviewer: G. Giancola, Boston, MA |
| The book is well organized, and a quick read on the plane ride to the West. However, it is over 10yrs old and unfortunately the park has not been stocked since before the book was written. The number of fish in the streams has been significantly reduced by over-fishing and lack of stocking. The book effectively predicts this occurrence, however it would be nice to see an updated Foreward stating this. The book gives a nice explanation of each fishing spot in each area of the park. So, if nothing else, it's worth buying for the overview of the fishing spots and directions to get to them. |
Disorganized and out of date

| Review Date: February 12, 2004 |
| Reviewer: , |
| There is a lot of information in this book, just not the the most up to date and useful information. The text although voluminous rambles a lot. Important information like length of hikes into fishing areas and time required is missing in many casese. Most streams, lakes, and trails that are mentioned are not shown on the very skimpy maps used. Most of the information is a decade out of date--the author is constantly referring to what the fishing may be like by the mid-1990s which according to my calendar was a decade ago. I was very disappointed with this book and had I seen it in a book store it would have remained there. The real downside is that it's the only flyfishing book on Yosemite that I could find. |
