"I have been fly fishing for a while and can honestly say your book is the most useful and easy to read fly fishing guide book I have encountered." -  Sean W.

“Love the book! The best piece of equipment I've bought in a long time. – Barb A.”

I would appreciate it if you guys would check out my new book and support this effort.  It has a tremendous amount of material that never made it onto the website.

190+ pages, 140+ pictures, 34 maps, and 61 tables document 30 miles of the North Branch from Westernport, MD through Wilson, WV.  GPS coordinates, annotated maps, detailed discussion beyond the parking lot tells and shows you exactly where to go and what to expect.
