I was very disappointed with this guide. It left off many many key waters in the state. Granted what were there were indepth reports, but I was lead to believe by another review that this was a complete guide to the state. Nothing could be further from the truth. The author did not even cover major lakes like Lake Champlain, Lake Willoughby, Crystal Lake, Lake Memphremagog, Lake St. Catherine, Lake Whitingham, Sommerset Reservoir and Lake Bomoseen to name a few. I am located in the Southern part of the state and only four streams were discussed, and even the Connecticut River was not covered. If you are really looking for a general guide to the state, keep looking.

ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE. Please don't anyone else buy this book, my brother and I like our fishing spots to ourselves thank you very much!

The author takes you to spots that don't look like they would have any trout, but they do and they are good size. If I was going to hire a guide I would hire him. The only bad thing about the book is everybody that reads it now knows where the good spots are.

Being a Vermont resident, it's nice to have a guide that is so complete and detailed for rivers and lakes in the state. The author gives personal accounts of his experiences in different bodies of water; where the best trout or bass fishing is, what time of year to catch specific types of fish, what lures or flies to use. I found this very helpful as a resource to fishing my favorite Vermont river, the White River. There are great fishing holes in places on the river I never new existed till I read this book. This is a definite must-have for anyone interested in fishing in Vermont, whether it be flyfishing or spin-casting, I highly recommend it.
