Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This smart, thorough guide covers more than 250 freshwater and saltwater fishing lodges in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Whether you enjoy stalking high-mountain brook trout on tiny flies or throwing wiggly worms to largemouth bass in southern swamps, you can find a destination resort, ranch, or wilderness floatplane drop-off that will satisfy your fishing needs and budget. Each entry is listed with a sidebar that includes the species of fish you're likely to encounter, fishing season, and descriptions of accommodations (information such as meals served, rates, preferred method of payment, travel routes, extracurricular activities, and contact information--phone numbers, mail and e-mail addresses). Lively, firsthand accounts provide especially useful portraits of what you can expect from the fishing, guiding, and lodging, with particular attention paid to accommodations that offer good services for couples, families, and novice fishers.
From Library Journal
Ross, a contributing editor to Sports Afield magazine, and Anders, a writer and editor for Country Inns magazine, have created an excellent companion guide for those who love to fish. Whether rustic settings with cooking facilities or full-service lodgings, they are in here. Beginning with the East and continuing through eight other areas of North America, the authors offer vital statistics, including fish species, season, rates, other possible activities, and a brief description of both the fishing and the lodging. They also offer useful travel tips, for example, on what and how to pack and information concerning shipping fish home. There is a brief list of references for each part of the country. A valuable tool for fishing travelers; recommended for all libraries.?Julia Stump, Voorheesville P.L., N.Y.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent addition to the fishing library.,
By ftwest@aol.com (Long Beach, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sports Afield Guide North America's Greatest Fishing Lodges (Paperback)
Mr. Ross obviously knows his fishing and he's a good writer to boot. He gives us vital facts and figures--species, seasons, rates, etc. - but he adds that evocative touch that makes you want to read each entry. You may never go to these lodges or rivers, but it fires your imagination to read Ross's lively prose. This is a well-researched description of both fishing and nearby accommodations, in varying price categories and varying degrees of luxury. I appreciated the inclusion of simple fishing camps along with pricey high-profile lodges. An altogether excellent book.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not practical,

This review is from: Sports Afield Guide North America's Greatest Fishing Lodges (Paperback)
Every single listing reads like an advertisement. You also have to be very wealthy to stay at the places listed. Not very practical
