The magic and majesty of America’s greatest western fly-fishing rivers. Flywater brings us to the iconic creeks, springs, freestone rivers, and tailwaters that make the American West the world’s premier destination for fly fishing. Grant McClintock’s first book struck a chord with fishermen, and fifteen years later he takes the reader back to these fabulous places—from the storied Henry’s Fork to the Yellowstone to the Thompson River in British Columbia. With extraordinary new photography and wisdom, McClintock revisits these home waters and discovers countless others as well. Flywater is a gallery of moments and places. From Idaho and Montana to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, McClintock’s rich photography of trout and steelhead waters surrounded by beautiful Western landscapes creates a compelling journey that the reader, whether fisherman or non-fisherman, will thoroughly enjoy.

Not exactly a fresh look at formerly epic trout water ... some of the info was sadly outdated before its publication in 2010. For example, on the plateau, Henry's Fork was essentially destroyed by turning off the water releases from the reservoirs long before 2010. Many other streams have been loved to death and are a shadow of their former glory days based on my 40 years experience fishing at lots of those waters.
