If someone wrote a book about how,when,where,and what to use to catch trout at Montauk would you buy it and for how much would you pay. Please reply back either on the topic or you can send you comments to my email address

No, too limited.

[Randall]

i agree with kickn, its too limited... and trout parks are not considered difficult to fish.

[jdmidwest]

I thought someone already did one.

[Watcher]

They did and they have a copy or two at the Lodge and they have a thick layer of dust on them. They also have Bennett Spring and Current river in them.

So is there going to be a revised second edition?

[Terry Beeson]

Yep... trout parks are too small to pay for a book like that. That's why you don't see a list of guides lining up to take you fishing there. Sort of a "fish in a barrel" syndrome...

Fortunately I would pick up the tab to get the thing going but thank you all for the feed back but I still think there is a niche for somthing like this.

I feel that any book about one particular body of water is going to have a very limited audience. Trout parks are so small that it doesn't take very much asking, digging and watching others to figure out what's succesful. It may be a good option for a beginner that is going to be concentrating on that particular park, but that is still a very limited audience.

I disagree with the other posters. I think a book on fishing the trout parks might do pretty well. It's true that it's kind of a limited subject about a small area of MO's waterways but think of the huge # of fisherman at the parks. I also don't agree that fishing the parks is "fish in a barrel" fishing at all (sorry Terry). Except for the first hour or two in the morning - the fishing at any of the trout parks can be at least as challenging as Taneycomo IMHO. I fish alongside plenty of fisherman at Montauk and Bennett that simply catch no or very few fish. I don't have trouble catching (and releasing) Good numbers of fish at the parks on most days - But it's just been in the last few years that I can finally say that. Meaning I finally kind of know what I'm doing. Even at that - if a book was out there that presented some new ideas on fishing the parks - I'd certainly buy it.

I think you are right in that there would probably be a niche for such a book.

Just my opinions.

Good luck,

Greg
