Anyway, while we are trying to reach a decision, I would like to read
more about the area. Can anybody suggest good books that would tell me
as much as possible about fishing in the Rocky Mountain region of
Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and British Columbia? I was
thinking about ordering some Robert Traver to entertain me during the
winter, and I might order some other books at the same time.

There are a number of journals published by Frank Amato Publications,
Inc. I have the journals for:

Yellowstone, Henry's Fork, The Madison, Big Hole, Silver Creek, Clark
Fork, Yakima River, Rogue River, McKenzie River, Deschutes, Kenai River
(Alaska), Sacramento River, Green River, Thompson River (BC), Rio
Grande, North Platte, and rivers in Pennsylvania, New York, and
Michigan.

They are well written by locals familiar with each river, and include
list/pictures of popular flies, maps, fauna and flora, and local
facilities.

Each journal is about $16 US. I believe they are still in print.
