Flyfisher's Guide to Northern New England: Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine (The Wilderness Adventures Flyfisher's Guide Series)
by Steve Hickoff, Rhey Plumley; 1999; paperback 300pp
This is the best book on flyfishing in New England-bar none. Whether your target is landlocked or migratory Atlantic salmon, striped or smallmouth bass, brook trout, or even rainbow and brown trout, this book should be included in your travel bag. The authors lead you through a detailed description of all major waters in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Content includes timing of seasonal trout, bass, and salmon runs, suggested flies, site-specific maps and area hatch charts. Finally, what Northeast anglers have been waiting for, a comprehensive guide to flyfishing opportunities in the great northeast.
reviewed: "tells you what you need to know I travel around New England regularly and usually have a fly rod in my car. It is always frustrating when I have a couple of hours of free time and I spend it trying to figure out where to fish instead of spending it fishing. This book has all you need to know to find a spot and catch (and hopefully release) some fish. Unlike some books the authors don't limit themselves to only one kind of fish or claim that every spot they talk about is going to rival the best place you've ever fished. Highly recommended for anyone who gets the privilege of fishing in New England!"

Trout Streams of Northern New England: A Guide to the Best Fly-Fishing in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine
by David Klausmeyer; 2001; paperback; 224pp
A comprehensive new guide to the best fly-fishing for trout and landlocked salmon in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Northern New England is known for its many beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams—and for outstanding fly-fishing. From Vermont's Battenkill, to the headwaters of the mighty Connecticut in New Hampshire, to the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers in Maine, David Klausmeyer has investigated the far reaches of northern New England to recommend the very best fly-fishing for trout and landlocked salmon. With his years of experience as a researcher, writer, and editor for several national fly-fishing magazines, Klausmeyer knows what to look for in a trout stream, where to find the best stretches of water and avoid crowds, and, most importantly, what every angler needs from a good guide. Features of this thoroughly researched, opinionated book include descriptions of the best waters and little-known tributaries worth exploring, and recommendations on local hatches and fly patterns, as well as detailed access directions and listings of local fly shops. Includes local hatch charts and fly patterns. 30 black and white photographs; 25 maps
reviewed:"Useful information I found the book to be very helpful. Not being familar with Maine, VT, or NH, I was able to quicky determine not just where to fish but where not to fish. The book is targeted more toward fly fishermen (I am one of those) and it lists what hatches are on the stream. A familar fly fisherman knows roughly what month such hatches are around. I would highly recommend this book over a Maine Gazette map which will not give you the detailed directions to some popular fishing spots."

Fishing Vermont's Streams & Lakes: A Guide to the Green Mountain State's Best Trout and Bass Waters
by Peter F. Cammann; 1992; paperback; 206pp
reviewed:"Great book for beginners or experienced Being a Vermont resident, it's nice to have a guide that is so complete and detailed for rivers and lakes in the state. The author gives personal accounts of his experiences in different bodies of water; where the best trout or bass fishing is, what time of year to catch specific types of fish, what lures or flies to use. I found this very helpful as a resource to fishing my favorite Vermont river, the White River. There are great fishing holes in places on the river I never new existed till I read this book. This is a definite must-have for anyone interested in fishing in Vermont, whether it be flyfishing or spin-casting, I highly recommend it.
