Michelle M, Librarian
This a very helpful guide of where to fly fish in DFW. It has helpful information on how to get to the location and where to apark. I also love each chapter ended with the recommendation of a Texan blues song. The map at the start of each chapter is a smart choice, and I liked that it included Tarrant County. It's a great buy for DFW are libraries.
