The book covers all aspects of fishing, from casting flies in the mountain
streams of western Maryland for native brook trout to catching behemoth
black drum along the coast and in the Chesapeake.
The authors have included many of their personal experiences in the
over 100 years, between the two of them, of fishing in the area. This book
is a must-have for any serious angler in the Mid-Atlantic states.
A traveler's guide to the best trout streams in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Fishing tips, maps, directions,
places to stay and eat.
Tales From Delaware Bay is a collection of stories of Watermen who
earn their living from the bay. The stories are non-fiction accounts of
crabbing, boating, trapping, net fishing and sports fishing.
The Delaware River is the last major free-flowing river in the eastern
United States. Drawing on their cumulative century of angling experience,
the authors range through the 14,000 square miles of the Delaware River
watershed, with offshore visits for saltwater fishing along the New Jersey
coast. All the places they talk about are within three-and-a-half hours
of Philadelphia by car. Besides giving directions to their favorite spots,
the authors regale the reader with comments about what to expect of each
place and how to make the most of your visit. Along the way they mention
and frequently evaluate nearby tackle shops, restaurants, taverns, historical
and scenic attractions, and even shopping opportunities. Throughout, they
share their own experiences with the reader both the pride of spectacular
catches and the embarrassment of spectacular follies. One of the authors
admits to breaking a new rod in a restroom door. Another tells about having
to be rescued from a mid-river rock by the very anglers to whom he had
just bragged about his accomplishments. They spice their descriptions with
apt quotations and finish it off, like a truly successful fishing day,
with their favorite recipes. This is a book with something for everyone,
from the novice to the expert. Even non-fishing friends and family members
will welcome the authors' suggestions for things to do while waiting for
their loved one to land the perfect trout or will be entertained by the
stories about those incomprehensible people who flock year-round to the
Delaware Valley's lakes, ponds, streams, and coastal waters. Author note:
