Alberta Trout Highway Book
 
Hi Guys,

I am desperately looking for a copy of this book. Everyone keeps talking about it. Any pointers?

Thanks.

Barry's Book has been out of print for a while, If you search posts you will see most shops have sold out also some time ago. It has quickly become a collectors item. We had a Fly tyers Garage Sale over the summer and was able to get over $150 ea for a couple of copies. Check out Amazon they do appear there.

Good luck in your search.

I am looking in Edmonton for the same book. I will let you know if I come across more than 1 copy.

I picked mine up just a couple of years ago for $38 bucks at Bass Pro. They were in the fly shop behind the counter. If I didn't ask I wouldn't have found it.

This place says they have it. Wolverinegt.ca

Also they may have it at the sportsman show.

Name the time and place and I will buy Weedy1 one too. I have been looking for this all over Calgary with no luck.

Weedy1 01-19-2017 10:44 PM

Actually I think you guys need to buy 270WinMag a beer, not me. See post #5, I missed it too. Actually never mind, he didn't provide the easy link I did so he can still come but has to be the designated driver. :)

Head to used book stores. I got mine 3 months ago for $4.50 and there were three copies.

happyfisher 01-22-2017 09:43 PM

Tnx

Happy

Annnnnnd it's gone.

I was lucky enough to get a copy from Wolverine. Read the whole book in one day. To say I've got the itch now would be a supreme understatement!

Poots 01-25-2017 07:55 AM

looking
 
likely a long shot here but if anyone is willing to part with a copy please let me know. Thanks in advance

I have a brand new copy/unread if anyone is still looking.

Poots 01-25-2017 11:10 AM

I sent you a private message with my number please contact me there.

thanks

CraigJ 01-28-2017 06:18 PM

Thanks to the Calgary Public Library I was able to get my hands on the book. It is held in a locked room, only allowed out with permission. What a fantastic read. It definitely deserves it place as one of the top fly fishing books for Alberta.

Sorry, its gone.

CraigJ 02-04-2017 08:37 AM

Thanks to Don Anderson I now have a copy. It is a fantastic read. The sections on the trout, and trout fishing are the best. In particular the portion on fish managment was the most educational. I had no idea the impact of of not practicing C&R or fishing with bait could have.
