5.0 out of 5 stars
Plan a successful and challenging itinerary,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fisherman's Guide to Maine (Paperback)
With each individual chapter including a profile of a local angling personality who is an expert on that particular region, A Fisherman's Guide To Maine covers eight distinct fishing regions including: Southern Maine; Rangeley Lakes Regions; Kennebec River; Moosehead Lake Region; Down East; Penobscot River; North Woods; and Aroostook County. A lifelong fisherman and biologist/entomologist, Kevin Tracewski reveals not only the best places to fish, but how to get to them, as well as what techniques and tackle to use. If you have an opportunity to fish the waters of Maine, then pack along a copy of A Fisherman's Guide To Maine to help you plan a successful and challenging itinerary.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Authoritative guide to Maine waters.,
By RobRoy (Lakeview, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Fisherman's Guide to Maine (Paperback)
Really enjoyable fly fishing guide for those who love Maine, or are planning a trip to different regions. 154 pages, plenty of black & white photos throughout, with excellent color photos in the middle. One-page maps for each region add value. 95% of content is fly fishing for trout and salmon, and the only thing missing is more about smallmouth bass fishing with spin-casting tackle.
