Editorial Reviews

Review

Canoe-Fishing New York Rivers and Streams is a well-thought-out, well-put-together treatise on the subject. Well-done book, and the pictures and illustrations are top notch. -- New York Outdoors magazine

Keesler gives you his homestyle renditions of adventures on 25 rivers and streams and sometimes makes suggestions for one and two-day outings. He tells you exactly what he caught and how,and in some cases what he didn't catch. By the time you finish reading "Canoe-Fishing New York Rivers and Streams," you'll be reaching for the telephone to make a date with your fishing buddy to run over at least one of the 25 waters described. -- Finger Lakes Times, Geneva, NY

Most canoeists don't fish and most fishermen don't canoe. But either would like this book. -- Press and Sun-Bulletin, Binghamton, NY

This unique publication is illustrated with 39 color photographs plus drawings and maps leading you to some of the finest canoe-fishing opportunities in the state. -- The Recorder, Amsterdam, NY

This is a good reference for canoe fishing in upstate NY. Good information, tips, and stream descriptions. Very satistied with it and looking forward to following some of the book's recommendations as soon as the snow melts and water levels get back to normal.
