There's something about trout. Something magical that seduces unsuspecting anglers into becoming willing members of a special fraternity bonded together by a common love.

If you find yourself under this wondrous spell, or long to understand the mysterious captivation of this seemingly regular fish, then Trout Country is for you.

Uniquely focused on the fish instead of the fishing, Trout Country contains a wealth of information on North American trout species. Offering new insights into trout feeding behavior, sensory abilities, habits, and much more, this superbly written work by award-winning author Michael Furtman details everything from natural history to natural habitats, and presents thought-provoking alternatives to current practices for trout and habitat preservation.

Artfully entwined with breathtaking photography and elegant, original watercolor illustrations, Furtman's rich text reveals his passion for this fish and the trout experience.

Trout Country, more than any other book on this subject, captures the essence of this enchanting creature and all that draws us into trout country.
