Michigan is one of the best states in the nation for flyfishing, and Jon Osborn's all-new Flyfisher's Guide to Michigan details the outstanding fishing opportunities like no other guidebook on the market. The author covers the hot spots and lesser known fisheries with personal experiences, historical overviews, effective techniques for both warmwater and coldwater species and resident and anadromous species, stocking data, appropriate gear and flies, access points, nearby fly shops, approximate float times and much more. Photographer Hunter Brumels provides the visuals that paint the full picture of the fishing in this incredible state. With bonus coverage of nearby watering holes, anglers will have everything they need for many memorable days. From mainstays like the Au Sable, Pere Marquette, Muskegon and Manistee rivers to hidden gems like the Rabbit and Red Cedar rivers, Osborn has put in the river-time so that you can get down to business. Many more forks and tributaries are covered, including trout, steelhead, salmon, bass and pike fisheries. This book comes standard with Wilderness Adventures Press' precise and detailed full-color maps, with GPS coordinates for all access points, boat ramps, and parking areas, along with access roads, public land and more. As Lefty once said: "If someone can't find locations from these maps - they need to stay home." Whether you're a veteran fly angler or new to the sport, get an edge with this all-new guidebook.

"Since it first appeared in 1985, Hendrickson's book has introduced legions of fly fishers to the state's most-treasured rivers. In this newest edition, author Jim DuFresne has made a good book better . . . DuFresne, author of more than twenty books, is a careful, consummate researcher and passionate fly angler. Modern trout anglers are lucky to have a wealth of Michigan rivers and streams to discover and to carry on the special sport first enjoyed by fly fishers more than 150 years ago. And they are lucky to have this book to help guide them to the best of all places to do it." ---Tom Huggler, award-winning author of more than a dozen outdoors books This completely revised and updated edition of the indispensable original offers more information on why Michigan is such a great place for all fly fishers. Twelve Classic Trout Streams also features new material---for example, information on hatches, including a hatch schedule chart; a list of ten flies that every Michigan angler should have; and equipment (line weight, rod length, etc.) for Michigan streams. At the heart of the book is the increased number of public access sites complete with GPS coordinates---a first among guides to Michigan streams. There are also all new photographs and improved maps that include stream bottom identification. Twelve Classic Trout Streams answers basic questions for any trip to a trout stream to be successful. Where are the best access sites? How wide and deep is the river there? Will you stand on firm sand or gravel, slip on hard clay or muddy stones, or sink into soft sand or mud? Is the current slow enough that you can wade easily upstream or so fast that you will be swept off your feet? All of these things are described or shown on the maps. Gerth E. Hendrickson was a member of Trout Unlimited and the Federation of Fly Fishers. He wrote prolifically on trout streams. Jim DuFresne is an outdoor writer based in Clarkston, Michigan, and author of more than a dozen wilderness/travel guidebooks. DuFresne gave up the spinning rod for the fly rod in the mid-1980s and has never turned back. Cover photograph by Jacom Stephens © iStockphoto.com
