Summary: A must have book on the Chesapeake Bay
Review: Arguably the most comprehensive, meticulous, and factual book ever written on the vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay for fishermen. A must have, must read guidebook, no matter what level of fishing expertise.

Summary: Needs a new title
Review: The title of this book should really be "Light Tackle Guide" to Chesapeake Bay...and fly fishing...and you'll need a boat.A great reference for boaters, but if you like to wade, forget it. A good attempt for light tackle, but if you like to throw flies...consider something else. Daunting task that these guys undertook, the Chesapeake is just so big. You could write a book on each section that these guys merely touch on. Where to start...I mean there is just so much information here and half I don't need. Places to eat? Auto repair...I just want to fish! Really, this book should be about 4-6 different, smaller, more concentrated guidebooks, focusing more on how to fish each section (more indepth topo maps, descriptions of spots, how to fish them, etc.) And it really needs to speak more to the wader...not every one has a boat! No color pics...c'mon. For the price of this book, I would like to at least see some color plates of flies/lures. Not enough info on matching baits. No fly patterns for the do it your selfer. If you boat, buy it. If you wade or fly fish, it definitely will not be your "goto" book on the shelf.
