Trout Streams of Southern Appalachia, 2nd Ed.

Fly-Casting in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee

Jimmy Jacobs

When Trout Unlimited rated the 100 best trout streams in the United States, nine of its choices were in the southern Appalachians. In this book, veteran angler and writer Jimmy Jacobs takes readers to these famous rivers--and to the many lesser-known waters in this five-state region, which boasts some of the finest fly-fishing anywhere in North America.

Features include:

  • 37 chapters on the region's major river systems

  • A clear map and detailed access information for each river and its productive tributaries

  • Information on hatches, other trout foods, and the most effective patterns for individual streams

  • Access points to lightly fished streams and tips for avoiding elbow-to-elbow conditions on the more famous rivers

  • Discussion of casting and wading conditions

  • Coverage of adjacent regions, including the Carolina foothills and the Cumberland Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee
  • "No Dixie trout fisherman should wet a line without reading this invaluable reference first."
    —Mike Toth, senior associate editor, Sports Afield
