Product Description
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 second edition, veteran angler and writer Jimmy Jacobs takes you to these famous rivers and to many lesser-known waters in this five-state region. In preparing this guide, which now includes a chapter on the New River system of North Carolina, he drove more than 25,000 miles, hiked hundreds more, and consulted with state fisheries managers and knowledgeable local anglers to bring you the most thorough and reliable inside information available. Features include: 28 chapters on the regions major river systems; clear maps and detailed access information for each river and its productive tributaries; information on hatches and the most effective patterns for each stream; discussion of casting and wading conditions; coverage of adjacent regions, including the Cumberland Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee and the Carolina foothills.

Summary:
Good read, albeit a bit biased

Comment:
A good book, but seemed to be a bit biased towards Jacob's home state of GA. They had the most comprehensive reviews and got more waters than others. To his credit, it is still a good read with some decent information on access points. I'd recommend a book more concentrated to the area you are going, but for all regions of Southern Appalachia, this is not bad considering there is not many books that cover this many miles of trout waters.

Comment:
The author's knowledge of the territory, exact locations and land marks is very helpful. He does not go in to much, if any, detail about insect life in the streams. Overall a very good book in rating streams, fishing quality, and helping you get there.

Comment:
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.
