Reviews
“This book contains an incredible amount of information. La Rivers shows a fine understanding not only of fish and fisheries but of physiography and history as well. The latter aspects alone would make the book extremely useful. Even if you don’t take it into the field, it is worthy of many hours curled up by the fire, unearthing fact after absorbing fact. La Rivers has written a book well worth every dime of the price, even after twenty-three years.” —Martin R. Brittan, Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, Summer 1995

“If you are looking for the definitive book on the fishes of Nevada, this is the book for you.” —Dr. James W. Avault, Jr., Aquaculture Magazine, July/August 1995
