Summary: This is how a fishing guidebook should be!
Review: 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.

Summary: Quite Pleased
Review: 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.
