A newly updated guide to one of the finest fly-fishing destinations in the country. When Trout Unlimited rated the 100 best trout streams in the United States, nine of its choices were in the southern Appalachians. Veteran angler and writer Jimmy Jacobs takes readers to these famous rivers and to many lesser-known waters in this five-state region. This updated second edition to the most comprehensive fly-angler's guide to the area includes an entirely new chapter on the New River system in North Carolina. Each chapter includes: a detailed map; information on access, regulations, and casting and wading conditions; and coverage of adjacent areas. 38 chapters cover the major river systems of five states. 34 black & white photographs, 43 maps, index.
