Customer Reviews: Enjoyed the book and the history July 18, 2006 I really enjoyed the book and found it to be more than just a book on fly fishing. I appreciated the history discussed on the area of Glen Canyon / Grand Canyon. I also had the priveledge to procure the guide services of the author, Dave Foster for two days with some buddies last year. What a great trip! I will be making it again very soon. A truly unique area to fish and just visit! Too Much History, Not Enough Good Fishing Info February 18, 2005 I don't like to be negative but I am disappointed in the book. The title says its a guide to "Fly Fishing Lees Ferry". I am sorry, but the fishing details peculiar to Lees Ferry are not what they could be. It is more a history book than anything else. Thats all well and good. No problem with history books. But I thought I was buying a book on fishing, not history. And not just a general book on fishing, but a book on Lees Ferry fishing. Why is it that any book on fly fishing has to include a Knots section and a Casting section? If I want a book on Introduction To Fly Fishing, that is what I will buy. But I wanted Lees Ferry info, not knot and casting info. Every time I see knots and casting in a book that is suppossed to be specific to an area, the intent of the author is clear.... fill up space in the book with easy unrelated stuff since he doesn't have enough info on the real topic to make a full book. Come on, don't you think people that want specific info on Lees Ferry know how to cast and tie knots? Don't you think these same people want your insight on the fishing aspects of the river rather than the historical points of the river. Retitle the book " History of Lees Ferry With Some Fishing Info Thrown In" Nice book, pretty pictures but... September 14, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Dave, if you lived there for so long, you could have at least made the publisher get the name right! It is Lees Ferry, no apostrophe. And it is some of the best fly fishing on the face of the planet as far as I'm concerned. Marble Canyon & the Vermillion Cliffs at dusk is absolutely magical. Good book on a great place and a wonderful sport! Oh, and I think that Dave will agree that guide I use, Bill McBurney, is another top notch guide for the area. Either one you go with, Dave or Bill, you are going to have a great time fishing!
