Trout of the World Revised and Updated Edition

I bought the book as a gift for someone who likes fishing. The book was a hit!

The illustrations are mediocre, although some of the text is interesting. Robin Ade, Peter Thompson, Joseph Tomelleri, and Flick Ford cover a lot of the same fish with far more information and far better illustrations. Buy their books first.

I bought this book as a gift for my son who is an avid fisherman, and because I wanted a colored picture of a rainbow trout so I can paint one for him for his birthday. I haven't started my drawing yet and it will not be a copy of the picture in this book, but I think he will love the book.The only thing I would wish is that there were more pictures of American trout.

Jame Prosek is excellence artist who pay attention on every detail on living fishes. I can see all shades & hues that he painted on his work. Moreover information in this book is also precious, that come from all-part of trouts' range, even if from less-studied region like, Middle East or Central Asia. Not only interesting story from writer's traveling, but also includes fact from former scientific research that adds value from this book and I wish to see the 2nd volume. Whatever you are angler, student or interests, should have one on your shelf.( I satisfied for this time shipment, books arrived to me in a mint condition with securely package, thank you for Amazon service team.)

image says "poster inside" but no poster :( was looking forward to framing it. Other than that, great book.

Gorgeous art on nice, thick paper

Incredible artwork & stories...

Gave as a Christmas present to my avid trout fishing Grandaughter she loves the book. Learned about this Author from a friend who personally knows the author

I have the first edition and I love the beautiful paintings and lively & informative text, all by James Prosek. This summer we were faced with the problem of what to give a keen fisherman-friend whom we were visiting: difficult problem given that said friend has (almost) everything, and also holds the European record for rod-caught arctic char (> 10 kg since you ask). So he got "Trout of the World Revised and Updated Edition" and at first looked polite but dubious. However, totally different story the following morning and subsequently: the more he read the happier he was, not only with the paintings but more particularly with the wealth of new information of which he had hithertto not been aware. I'm quite tempted to the new edition myself.

Nicely produced book. Bought for a mates birthday. Quick scan ... most impressed!

Great book with wonderful illustrations. It was a gift for my boyfriend who loves flyfishing and he appreciated it very much!

great paintings great backup info

I didn't know that there were so many species of trout until this superbly illustrated book arrived.
