Knowledgeably written by experienced flyfisher Eric Newman, Flyfisher's Guide To New York presents an exhaustive 526-page compendium detailing of great flyfishing locales all over the great state of New York. The thoroughly "user friendly" and deftly organized text is profusely enhanced with maps, directions, facility information, descriptions, recommendations and more. A superb reference and resource cataloguing prime fishing creeks and locations throughout the Empire State, Flyfisher's Guide To New York is an enthusiastically recommended giftbook for anglers living or vacationing anywhere within New York State.

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.

Flyfisher's Guide to New York is hands down the best New york guide ever. I t's well organized, has great maps, and general information on all the important fly fishing waters in New York . It's about time!

I have this guide for PA too. Before are informative and as far as I can tell accurate. Very helpful.

Newman's book is comprensive, but far too general. Maps are not detailed enough - how about directions to some of these places? I also fails to even begin to cover on the great Saltwater opportunities. I feel the TU Guides by the specific chapters are far more comprehensive. Newman is President of NYCTU.
