Craig Matthews' "Fly Fishing the Madison" and "The Yellowstone Fly
Fishing Guide" are pretty good - and if you don't like them you can go
into his shop and complain when you're there. g

Thanks Charlie, I know you have the Fothergill book (clave raffle prize from
someone..), how does it match up?

Fothergill is one you want! At least one of the ones you want. Buy it
cheap on Amazon, used. Matthew's is good for Madison specifically, but to
fish the surrounding area, Fothergill is a great guide because of all the
streams covered and all the maps. The Amato book LaCourse mentioned is best
for just fun reading (good photos). I'd get at least 3 books :-)

The Fothergill book is maybe more 'technical' (at least it has more
detailed maps) but the Matthews books are more focused on the Madison
and Yellowstone area.
