5.0 out of 5 stars Very Insightful Guide to New York's Fishing, May 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Flyfisher's Guide to New York (Flyfisher's Guides) (Paperback)

I was extremely pleased with Newman's guide to New York flyfishing. I'm very familiar with some of the areas he covered, and he did a very comprehensive job with those spots and how to fish them. He also got into areas that are not covered by the various Trout Unlimited guides around, and so introduced me to some new opportunities. Newman is a good writer, too, and I found myself enjoying his words on rivers and spots I'll probably never get to.

This is a great and very comprehensive guide to flyfishing in New York state. I know some of the spots well, and think he's done an extremely good job of capturing the conditions and how to fish them. He also covers areas that are not covered by my TU guides or other books.
