Since 1971, Jackson Streit has been fly fishing Colorado waters an average of 100 days a year. As owner of The Mountain Angler in Breckenridge, Colorado, he knows the rivers and streams as well as anyone. And now he brings his expertise and experience to good use in his new book, Fly Fishing Colorado. Like most of the No Nonsense Guidebooks, this one is filled with colorful maps and illustrations, covering Colorado rivers from all four corners.

This easy-to-read guidebook gives a quick and clear understanding of nearly every river and stream in Colorado, from the most popular to the least known. It includes detailed instructions on how to fish rivers such as the Colorado, the Rio Grande, the Platte and Gunnison, the Piedra, the Conejos, the Dolores, and many others. And it gives an overview of nearly everything an angler needs to know, including the types of fish to watch for, known hatches (broken down by seasons), when and how to fish, the seasons and limitations, and the river ratings. It even includes a map and an accommodation and services guide.

And Streit’s book is laid out beautifully, with a high gloss cover and full-color illustrations and graphics throughout. It’s a must-have manual for any angler interested in fishing the high country.

It’s clearly one of the easiest to use manuals on the market. —Frank Martin
