"I can say without hesitation that I know of no one better qualified to write the essential primer on fly-fishing small streams than Tom Rosenbauer. I learned something on every page of this book." ~James R. Babb, Editor, Gray's Sporting Journal "A comprehensive guide to fishing small trout streams throughout North America." ~ Publishers Weekly "I learned from this book, and I've been inspired. In an age where fly-fishing books are constantly flooding to the market, I'm hesitant to call any work the 'final work' on a subject. But if you're planning to write the ideal tome about fly fishing small streams, you need to find another topic. Tom Rosenbauer has already written that book.
" Hatches Fly Tying Magazine "Tom has previously penned 10 books on various fly-fishing-related topics, but his latest may top them all. The hefty, 11.1 x 8.7 x 1.2-inch book is a fully illustrated guide to fly fishing small streams. It covers everything from how to find the best small streams, to how small-stream trout behave, to food sources, to fly selection and casting. Rosenbauer even unveils an improved bow-and-arrow cast he learned from Joe Humphries that is worth the price of the book alone. This book should probably be regarded as the bible of small stream fly fishing, as Rosenbauer has left no stone unturned in giving the reader a complete breakdown of all things pertinent to fly fishing small streams.
" ~Alex Cerveniak Midcurrent.com "Tom Rosenbauer, the author of the extremely informative and visually beautiful book, The Orvis Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing , loves the adventure and challenge of catching tiny fish out of tiny streams.

Rosenbauer's enthusiasm for the sport, especially fishing on very small streams, imbues this excellent and very enjoyable book and will answer that question." ~ Stratton Magazine.
