A must have for every trout lover, and for whoever enjoys the amazing sport which is angling.
This book is sure to captivate you with Prosek's amazing watercolour paintings, incredibly detailed and "alive".
The writing is excellent, and manages to always keep you "hooked" (no pun intended) on the history and science of these marvelous fishes; it makes you feel like you're right behind his shoulder as he searches for, fishes, and paints these amazing creatures.
In short, I definitely recommend this. Makes a great gift for any fish lovers, too.

Beautifully done book with incredible artwork. I’ve loved Prosek’s work since seeing his paintings hang in my grandfather’s office. Very educational and well researched. This is a must have for anyone fond of the sport of fishing or trout in general.

More of a coffee table book than an overview of different species of Trout and Char etc, but does have some interesting facts and anecdotes on various fish and beautiful paintings

Magnificent in every way. Prosek is the Audubon of trout.

This is a beautiful book of James Prosek's watercolor paintings of trout. With only a nod toward the trout of North America, it really should be called "Trout of the Old World."
