Product Description
A complete new guide--the first of its kind--to the best fly-fishing in the streams, lakes, and ponds of southern New England. Within the confines of southern New England there are more trout streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds than any one angler can fully appreciate in a lifetime. The variety of waters in itself is quite astonishing, as is their fertility and ability to sustain trout year-round. This variety and fertility belies the conventional wisdom--namely, that southern New England contains only marginal trout waters, and that they are overcrowded and overfished. It is, in fact, a fly-fisher's delight, with well-protected watersheds, stocked rivers, and stretches of pristine, wild streams. No matter where you stand in southern New England, Tom Fuller can guarantee that you are within 15 miles of one of the exceptional trout waters described in his new book. He guides anglers to every recommended trout water--over 130 streams and rivers in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island--making this the most comprehensive guide available. In addition, you'll find thorough, expertly researched access directions and up-to-date information on regulations and stream conditions. Nineteen maps detail the major rivers; and Fuller also gives advice on patterns to match the hatches and a chart showing insect emergence dates. The only trout-fishing guide to this region, it covers 19 major watersheds with over 130 waters described.

 Good information for people not familiar with the area. April 5, 2008
I recently started fly fishing again, and was somewhat new to the northeast, and this book had a lot of great information about where go, what hatches are common, parking and access, overall a great buy!
 OK book, but very vague information June 27, 2007
Book is OK, but it does not give enough specific information about trout fishing locations. It will mention rivers or ponds, but does not tell you how to get to them or where there is parking available to access them.
Quite Pleased December 12, 2003

I was quite pleased with this book. I live in New York State and wanted to expand my fishing into Southern and Western Connecticut. Using the "high level maps" I was quickly able to determine some other areas to fish besides the Housatonic and the Farmington River. More importantly, I caught some fish on my first day out after reading this book. (I must have been lucky as I have returned twice to the same spot with no bites). The guide gives useful written directions and made it easier for me to determine what streams and rivers I would want to fish.
This is how a fishing guidebook should be! April 10, 2003

Excellent book! Not only does the author spell out, in complete detail, the best trout streams in Southern New England, he provides basic maps of all the areas mentioned as well as a list of the feeder streams as alternatives to the main rivers he discusses, if you want to have a better chance of not running into anyone else while on the water. In most cases, he also includes a listing of essential flies (including sizes) that you should have if you want to catch the fish. I've planned several day-trips using this book alone and have absolutely no complaints. All the info he provides is clear & accurate. If you live in MA, CT, or RI and love to flyfish, GET THIS BOOK! You won't be sorry you did.
