Graham Owenon 28 Nov 2009 at 9:31 pm 1I agree with the previous review, this is a mediocre book. In fact I personally took two of the photos on the cover, as well as most of large trout photos contained in the book, all were caught in New York, but the author gave the photo credits to the owner of a NY tackle shop. So, I really do not trust the written text as being accurate. That said, NY has some of the best fly fishing in the country and I’ve learned not to give fly shop owners copies of my fishing photos.

R. Giombetti Jr.on 28 Nov 2009 at 11:26 pm 2I have fished in New York for the past 30 years and have referenced this book numerous times for new places to wet a line. I find it’s brief descriptions and accurate accounts of New York’s fly waters simple and easy to reference. The author does a wonderful job of covering the state. He has included a few real gems that would be easily overlooked if you didn’t read into his subtle suggestions. You find yourself referencing this guide repeatedly once you pick it up. It’s a keeper!

K. McLaughlinon 29 Nov 2009 at 12:57 am 3The guide had some good suggestions for my short trip in NY. I only had a a few days to explore a limited number of streams in the capital region and the book gave some useful advise. I am looking forward to my next NY fly fishing trip and plan to consult this guide.

M. DiMariaon 29 Nov 2009 at 1:10 am 4You won’t learn anything from this book you can’f figure out for yourself by driving by the streams they review. Its a very thin book, and addresses each river quite superficially – its more like a brochure than a comprehensive guide to NY fly fishing waters.
