Idaho's Henry's Fork holds legendary status among American trout streams. Trout Unlimited members voted it the nation's best. Mike Lawson, the river's leading authority, guides anglers through 80 miles of fishable water from the upper river through Box Canyon and Railroad Ranch. He covers tributaries, lakes, and reservoirs that feed this storied system. Lawson breaks down seasonal hatches and shares his top 12 fly patterns for each time of year. The guide spans diverse water types, from technical spring creek sections to faster flowing runs. Lawson draws on decades of experience to reveal when and where trout feed throughout the system. He provides detailed maps and access information for each section. The book serves both newcomers approaching this intimidating water and regulars seeking to refine their approach to specific areas and conditions.
