If you fish for trout in Pennsylvania, buy this book! The author was born next to a trout stream in PA. He has actually fished in most of the streams he writes about, and provides accurate information about the streams and the hatches to expect. It contains maps and the locations of the special project areas (e.g. artifical lures or fly-fishing only). I have tried a number of streams based soley on his recommendations and have not been disappointed. This is the second edition; it contains a number of streams not included in the first. It is practical and clearly written.

I should have read reviews before purchasing this book but I assumed Charlie Meck would have something good here. I was dissapointed, apparently so has everyone else who bought this book. He adds very little detail to the streams he mentions, and he mentions a ton of them. I expected more, in the section regarding Bowmans Creek, which is calls at one time his "home" stream, he even gives an improper location of the Fly Fishing only section, the map is marked wrong, duh.

We bought the book for our brother and he was reading it immediately after opening. He seemed very excited about the info and claims he will carry it with him in his fishing box.

This is a must have book for Pennsylvania fisherman. We are North Central and use this book for streams in the area.

this book covered alot of streams that i hoped it would but i thought the information was not as detailed for each stream as i would like to have read.this book i feel still is a must for every PA. fly fisherman
