Trout Streams of Alberta

Two of the best-selling books about fly fishing in Alberta are Trout Streams of Alberta and Blue Ribbon Bow, both by Jim McLennan. Both books have been out of print and unavailable to the public for a number of years. This is a revised and updated edition of Trout Streams of Alberta, with significant information from Blue Ribbon Bow incorporated into it. Included here are examinations of each watershed, focusing on the best opportunities that each provides from wilderness cutthroat and grayling streams, to intimate brown-trout creeks, to internationally acclaimed rainbow rivers. Jim McLennan draws on nearly 50 years of fly-fishing experience to make sound recommendations on tackle, technique and fly patterns. The presentation is enhanced by detailed maps, colour and black and white illustrations, hatch charts and fly patterns, profiles of Alberta trout species, and explanations of how trout and trout streams operate. Written in an engaging, personal style, this is a book anglers will refer to frequently for vital information and will return to just as often for pleasure.
