Maine has the most diverse fly fishing opportunities in New England and is a popular destination for anglers seeking trout, landlocked salmon, striped bass, and a host of other game fish. This guide to the state’s best fly fishing covers rivers and streams, ponds and lakes, and salt water, also includes extensive information on backcountry ponds and other out of-the-way places. In addition to the top fishing destinations, author Bob Mallard covers a lot of fascinating Maine angling history and includes chapters on the fish species and conservation. 

With contributions by a who’s who list of Maine writers including Emily Bastian, William Clunie, Will Lund, Bill Sheldon, George Smith, Ted Williams, V. Paul Reynolds, and King Montgomery, this book is sure to be a valuable resource for resident and visitor alike.

"The book I should have written years ago. Foreword by the late George Smith (Maine’s most visible fishing and fish promoter,) along with chapters from many of the best-known outdoor personalities in the state, and artwork from Maine artists David Footer and Karen Talbot, make this a unique book.  Offered in the popular and convenient 6×9” “guidebook” style softcover." - Author Bob Mallard
