Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great book for those of us fishing the Potomac River. I have found it extremely useful and infomative. Unlike some other fishing books I have purchased in the past, Steve's book is cleary written and gives very specific information regarding fishing conditions and locations. It is clear that Steve has personally experienced fishing at each of the locations in the book. I highly recommend it.

In this book, Steve shares his years of experience fishing one of the East Coast's best, yet most underrated, smallmouth rivers - the Upper Potomac.This book literally walks the reader 57 miles upstream starting at the Chain Bridge in the District of Columbia to end at Dam 3 above Harpers Ferry.
Given that a picture is worth 1,000 words, the book includes over 200 augmented with 42 maps and 45 tables of critical information that allow you to determine the right place to go and the right time to be there.
Other Potomac books assume you have a boat; this one assumes you fish on your feet. Steve dedicates the entire book to guiding you to locations where you can wade or fish from the shore. It includes 32 named chapters that discuss the major access points in Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia. Many contain additional information on minor access points within the same area; expanding the total geographic coverage dramatically.This book is "internet aware" and includes 208 GPS coordinates usable in Google Maps for precise directions as well as the satellite view to obtain a birds-eye perspective. In the eBook version available from CatchGuides.com, clicking on the coordinate automatically launches Google Maps.
To ensure this book reflected the broadest base of experience possible, Steve enlisted members of the Washington Metropolitan area's premier bass fishing clubs to "fact check" the book.Steve incorporated their comments and suggestions, resulting in a comprehensive perspective on this great river.
Comments from the fact checkers include:
"I read your book today and it is excellent.I have been a guide on the Shenandoah and Potomac for more than 30 years and your descriptions from Brunswick to Harpers Ferry are excellent."
"Wow, what a treasure of information! What a treat to read. Thanks for doing this."
Kayak and canoe fishing enthusiasts will find this book to be equally useful.
