The
Angler's Guide
Steve Born, Jeff Mayers, Andy Morton, and Bill Sonzogni
With a Foreword by Gary A. Borger
A
North Coast Book
"Reveals a broad knowledge of
Wisconsin's landscape and its fisheries, information that's useful
not only for increasing catch rates but for placating curiosity.
Don't merely skim these pages; find all their treasures."—Gary A. Borger
Exploring Wisconsin Trout Streams is a treat for novice
and veteran anglers alike. Drawing on years of conservation and
angling experience, Steve Born, Jeff Mayers, Andy Morton, and
Bill Sonzogni tell you about great fishing opportunities unique
to Wisconsin—1,000 miles of spring creeks, the amazing nocturnal
Hex hatch, and big salmonids in the Great Lakes tributaries.
They profile
twenty of Wisconsin's finest streams—from the bucolic Green
River in the southwest to the historic and wild Bois Brule in
the north. For each stream, the authors share their fishing experiences,
supplemented by detailed maps and descriptions of the stream's
location and natural setting; conservation history; angling opportunities
and advice; nearby facilities, including choice places to eat
and sleep; and other local fishing sites. Reflecting the state's
preeminent role in the nation's trout-angling and conservation
heritage, every chapter emphasizes the importance of environmental
stewardship. Exploring Wisconsin Trout Streams shares
ways to get the most out of your angling adventure while preserving
Wisconsin's beautiful streams.
