"This book is a true trophy for the contemporary fly fisherman. Dave's new book is the most comprehensive fly fishing book I have ever seen. It is destined to become a classic."

The Most Definitive Book Yet on Fly Fishing in Pennsylvania

"Flyfisher's Guide to Pennsylvania provides the indepth information I'll need to get started on more coldwater, warmwater and steelhead streams, rivers and lakes than I'll probably be able to get to over the next 10 years; more than 150 waters across the state."

GREAT BOOK!

I was not only impressed with the completeness of the information provided on all the waters covered, but appreciated those tiny, quiet waters that he didn't cover in order to save them. Wolf is a true conservationist. I also liked the accommodations listings. I bought TWO - one for the house to plan my trips, and one for car to use as a guide along the way. I highly recommend this book not only for the fisherman, but the traveler who wants to see scenic waters as well.

A Cut Above the Rest

"There are other such fly-fishing guides, but Wolf's is unique and the most comprehensive; it's a cut above the rest."

This Guy Knows How to Catch Fish

Dave Wolf is "a man who just may go down in angling history as one of the state's pre-eminent fishing bums." Flyfisher's Guide to Pennsylvania "is a 500+ page, region-by-region directory to fly fishing in the Keystone State. You get stream-by-stream descriptions, summaries of Approved (stocked) waters, Wild Trout streams, and a list of fly shops. There's also a rundown on the major cities in each region listing accommodations, restaurants, ... even hospitals, in case you lose a Woolly Bugger in your earlobe. Please note that this is not just a trout book. Thanks in large part to Dave's love affair with the Susquehanna River, there's plenty of information on the state's warmwater fisheries. ...A book like this is a prodigious effort when you're wrapping your arms around a 29-million-acre state."
