Covering over six million acres of northern New York, the Adirondack
Park is the largest state preserve in the Lower 48. Forty three peaks
reach over 4000 feet and 100,000 acres of ancient forest complement its
expansive new growth. For the angler, 2,800 lakes and ponds are set in
this fabulous wilderness, along with 31,000 miles of rivers and streams,
offering a fantastic variety of fish habitats. Just about anything that
swims in the temperate waters of the Western hemisphere can be found
here. You can troll for salmon or muskies, fly-fish for monster trout,
black bass and northern pike, jig for walleyes and lake trout, or simply
sit on a dock and dunk worms for bullheads, sunfish, and perch. FISHING
THE ADIRONDACKS is a thorough, detailed where-to and how-to guide to
this spectacular angling paradise, covering well over 200 specific
locations. Included is authoritative guidance on where to fish, what
will be biting and when, and techniques and strategies to put fish on
the line. Also included are the principal fishing destinations near the
Park, including the Tug Hill Plateau and Thousand Islands regions. From
the massive waters of Lake Champlain to tiny mountain brooks, the
Adirondack Park has it all. Any angler in the region, from beginner to
advanced, will need FISHING THE ADIRONDACKS. Spider Rybaak writes on
angling and the outdoors for the Oswego County Tourism Bureau, lectures
