5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for trout fishing in the South..., April 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Trout Streams of Southern Appalachia (Regional Fishing) (Paperback)

"Trout Streams of Southern Appalachia" is an outstanding book for people who want to fish for trout in the Appalachian Mountain regions of Georgia, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. It gives locations, access points, fly patterns and hatches for the best trout streams in the South. It is well written and the reader can see that the author put in many hours of research in writing this book. I just wish there were more books written on this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide for Anyone New to Area, May 8, 1998

This review is from: Trout Streams of Southern Appalachia (Regional Fishing) (Paperback)

Just spent three days fishing in the GSMNP in eastern Tennessee, and found Mr. Jacobs book to be right on target. A lot of the information can be found from local flyshops, but his book really helped plan our trip in advance. Coupling this book with local advice is a formula for success.
