(From Amazon.com):  Anyone who fly-fishes Montana--or plans to--should own copies of this useful guide and its eastern companion. A complete inventory of Montana's fly-fishing waters west of the Continental Divide, Montana Fly Fishing Guide moves across the state, drainage by drainage, devoting plenty of space to the main river of each watershed as well as the many tributaries, small streams, reservoirs, and alpine lakes that frequently get left out of other guidebooks. The maps are large and easy to use, and the fishing descriptions cover seasonal variations, river conditions, and preferred fly patterns. Also included are travel suggestions, river access, etiquette and rules, and a hatch chart. Both the eastern and western editions are superb guides to one of the world's best places to cast a fly.
