Default Alberta's Trout Highway

I'm hoping to expand my search for a copy of Barry Mitchell's Alberta's Trout Highway. If anyone has a copy they are willing to part with I'd be more than happy to buy it. Cheers.

I would gladly accept info on where it could be found as well... My searches at the book/fishing stores have not gone in my favour

I have one as well but I'm not willing to part with it. It's a great read. I found a couple on Amazon for you but they sure are pricey.

I feel the pain of a search in vain...something to consider is to go about your search in a quieter manor, all this public attention is likely peaking others interest in the book leading to more competition in securing a copy from an ever dwindling supply therefore accelerating the rise in price...

Good luck...keep an eye on kijiji maybe...i saw a copy on there for $10 before Christmas.

I believe I bought a couple copies at Cabelas just off the Henday a few years ago. Maybe give that a shot?

This is what I came up with:

https://www.amazon.com/Albertas-Trou...0%2C320_&psc=1

Or you could get a library edition, wink, wink, nudge, nudge...

Is Trout Highway the same as Trout Streams of Alberta? I don't think they are, but I'm curious... both are by Barry Mitchell.

Are you talking about Trout Streams of Alberta by Jim McLennan?

Both are very good and useful books.

It is a great book. I read it every spring to get the blood pumping for fly fishing. I believe he is talking about Alberta's Trout Highway by the late Barry Mitchell. Are they not in print anymore?

Nope. Out of print. Seems odd but nobody has it anymore... no ebook or online PDF. Very, very hard to source for under $50.

Edit: there was one on amazon for around $50 or so USD. Looks like it's gone now. All other copies are on Amazon.ca and sell for over $160.

It would be great if someone could just PDF it and break this market.
