Trout
Streams of Southern New England: An Angler's Guide to the Watersheds of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island (Trout Streams)
by Tom Fuller
Paperback from Countryman Press
ISBN: 088150470X
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. |
