Good Fishing in the Adirondacks, 3rd Ed.

Catch your share of local expertise from this Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame writer

Good Fishing in the Adirondacks is back by popular demand in its third edition, with editor Dennis Aprill gathering local expertise in new and updated chapters written exclusively by area fishing guides and sports writers. A registered New York guide himself, Aprill has been a tireless advocate for sport in the Adirondacks from his post as an outdoor columnist for the Plattsburgh Press Republican. From backcountry camp trips—some via packhorse—to more leisurely boat fishing, the book explores fishing in this vast natural area through all the seasons.
Covering both the streams (including the storied Ausable and Battenkill) and the lakes (including Champlain, George, and Saratoga) that abound here, Good Fishing in the Adirondacks includes techniques for catching a wide array of freshwater species along with more than 30 maps, complete with lake depths. This revised edition also expands coverage of gateway cities Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls and includes detailed information on the new Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, aka the Wild Center, in Tupper Lake. Find out why Sports Afield has called it “a treasure trove of firsthand knowledge of the area . . . [with] solid clues on where and how to fish and for what.”

Dennis Aprill, winner of ten awards from the Outdoor Writers Association of America, is a Lecturer of Journalism at State University of New York at Plattsburg. In 2009, Aprill was inducted into the New York State Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame. He is the author of Paths Less Traveled, and Short Treks in the Adirondacks and Beyond: Paths to Discovery. Aprill lives with his family in a remote spot in the Adirondacks.
