The only thing negative I saw about it was that it was missing one species:

This is an incredible book. The illustrations are wonderful. Not just one of every species, but in some case several subspecies as well. It covers all the salmon, trout and char. It even tackles the grayling and the whitefish.
What really bugs me is that it could have been one hundred percent. But it misses just one fish. Just one damned fish.
The book leaves out one fish. The Sheefish or the Inconnu of the Artic. Stenodus leucichthys. While not a fish many people are going to get a chance to fish for, it's still a salmonnid and a pretty good game fish to boot. It's known as the freshwater tarpon. It living proof you don't have to leave North America to fish for an exotic.
I don't know why people insist on referring to some species or another as "the freshwater xxxx". It seams so many people call carp the "freshwater bonefish"...I call them carp, and I love to catch 'em when I'm smart enough to know how to do it intentionally.
