Rating: Summary: A seductive volume for non-fishermen, too! Review: AMEN as to the honesty of the evaluations of every (!) candidate PA stream for the coveted "limestone influence" so prized by trout fisherman. The reasons for the author's methods are fully explained in a brief prolog section, in which sections lie considerable educational and aesthetic value for the non-fisherman.The sections on exactly what a limestone stream is, and about "hatches", catch-and-release philosophy, dry-fly vs. bottom bait techniques, stream quality and related environmental conservation issues, stocking vs. "wild" fish, and all-around fish lore, just wets the whistle of those of us not yet quite prepared to get into a truck at 6:30 A.M. to have a go at communing with nature in this classic, time-honored way. I browsed a resale copy (I'm a dealer), and came away enriched and enthusiastic about at least visiting some of the easier-to-locate trout streams in this informative and balanced compendium!
Rating: Summary: A seductive volume for non-fishermen, too! Review: In this book, Joe listed any stream with a hint of limestone. He gave honest descrtipions, if there were no fish he said so. I just wish he had time to fish some of them more. An all around good book. I have tried some of the out of the way streams he mentioned.
