Since the first edition appeared in 1994, this popular book has become a "must have" reference for legions of trout anglers who have discovered Iowa's surprising trout streams. The first section of the text discusses the emergence and growth of wild trout populations in Iowa's classic spring creeks and also features detailed recommendations for tackle, angling techniques, and fly selection. New to this edition are four tables that suggest an imaginative assortment of common and not-so-common fly patterns arranged by season and situation. The second section provides more than forty maps that guide anglers to 48 trout streams, while the accompanying commentary offers advice on fishing strategy, fly selection, and navigating the twisty roads of Iowa's rugged trout country, known to the residents as "Little Switzerland." A brief, third section of the book includes additional tips and illustrated, clearly written instructions for tying the three most common fly-fishing knots. For more than a dozen years, copies of "The Iowa Book" have graced dashboards and vest pockets as thousands of visitors have joined native Iowans in discovering the magic of stalking wild trout in the state's challenging spring creeks.

Pick up just about any diet book on the market and youll see that its written by a doctor, nutritionist, dietitian or health guru. Not this one.

Given that, he figured there had to be a better way. Inside this short and snappy book, youll see that The Turtle Diet is based upon the oldest, simplest, and smartest way to lose weight - slow and steady wins the race. By allowing time to play a supporting role, you can get to where you want to go if youre willing to be patient.
