Reviews
Bob Mallard writes quality books with high-end imagery and thoughtful, informed prose. This book—a collection of fishing expertise from top Maine anglers, advocates, and writers—is no exception. A must have reference for all who fly fish Maine’s extraordinary waters.
I don’t know a better angler or a more articulate and dedicated advocate for Maine’s fish and fishing than Bob Mallard. His favorite fish is the eastern brook trout, Maine’s signature species. Should he be promoting Maine’s brook-trout waters? Yes, because he understands that native brook trout are in need of friends, and that’s what anglers who chase them ultimately become.
