Fly Fishing Maine: Local Experts on the State's Best Waters - Paperback

A Maine fly fishing guide in book form, not a booking service: Bob Mallard and a dozen local writers on where the state's water is worth fishing.

Mallard ran an outfitter on the Kennebec for thirteen years, so the water selection reads like somebody sending you to the right place rather than to the famous one.

What it covers

Lakes and ponds, streams and rivers, and the salt, with a long stretch on backcountry water that takes effort to reach. Species and conservation chapters sit alongside the destinations.

Good to know

Trout, landlocked salmon and striped bass are the fish it is organised around. Contributors include Emily Bastian, Ted Williams, George Smith and V. Paul Reynolds.
