An Entirely Synthetic Fish

Anders Halverson is the author of a very informative and entertaining book about the rainbow trout that any trout fisherman is surely to find interesting.

An Entirely Synthetic Fish: How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World is the title of the book that is an excellent study on this North American Pacific slope native. The author in a relaxed, storytelling fashion chronicles the rainbow trout from it's discovery through its introduction into all but one continent. 

The books reads at a pace that once picked up becomes hard to put down and after finishing it beckons to be read again.  

Anders Halverston received his PhD in ecology from Yale University and wrote the book as a research associate at the University of Colorado's Center of the American West.

This book is now a permanent addition to my library.
