Trout Streams of Southern Appalachia: Fly-Casting in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina & Tennessee

When Trout Unlimited rated the 100 best trout streams in the United States, nine of its choices were in the southern Appalachians. In this updated edition, veteran angler & writer Jimmy Jacobs takes you to these famous rivers & to many lesser-known waters in this five-state region. In preparing this guide, which now includes the Big Sandy River System in Kentucky, he drove tens of thousands of miles, hiked hundreds more, & consulted with state fisheries managers & knowledgeable local anglers to bring you the most thorough & reliable inside information available. Detailed chapters on the region's major river systems include clear maps & detailed access information for each river & its productive tributaries; information on hatches & the most effective patterns for each stream; discussion of casting & wading conditions; & coverage of adjacent regions, including Kentucky's Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee, & the Carolina foothills.
