Brook trout are native in the Eastern United States and were the most
important fly rod gamefish for early anglers, until they were supplanted
by nonnative brown and rainbow trout. Today, brook trout are indicators
of cold, clean water and healthy ecosystems, and in almost every place
they are found, anglers will also find wild country and relative
solitude. They have been introduced throughout the Rocky Mountains,
where they grow large and abundant. This is the most complete guide to
brook trout ever written and not only includes information on tackle and
techniques but important conservation information and an in-depth
section on top brook trout destinations, from Maine to Argentina. With a
foreword by Ted Williams.
