Kurzbeschreibung
Many of the 10,000 miles of classified trout water in the state is easily accessible from major population centers. But this massive, complete work also includes smaller "secret" streams in remote regions. This third edition has been completely redesigned, as well as updated and expanded. Fourteen streams have been added. Features include: extensive insect hatch charts keyed to each stream; advice on matching the batch with the right flies; local fly patterns; color photographs and detailed maps; at-a-glance headings for each stream that tell you how to get there, what to bring, regulations, and highlights.
Der Autor über sein Buch
Charlie Meck's spent a lifetime compiling data
"I venture to say that Charlie Meck's 125 years old." That how a reviewer from New York state began his description of "Pennsylvania Trout Streams and Their Hatches." What did he mean?
"I venture to say that Charlie Meck's 125 years old." That how a reviewer from New York state began his description of "Pennsylvania Trout Streams and Their Hatches." What did he mean?
The reviewer went on to say that nobody could know the mayfly hatches and 120 Pennsylvania trout streams that well; and that it must have taken a lifetime plus to accumulate that information.
But wait! The Third Edition--totally revised and updated; and now called "Trout Streams and Hatches of Pennsylvania," will be available in early June 1999. I've added scores of new stream maps, 14 additional streams, and new charts and graphs to make this Third Edition truly a fly fisher's Bible.
Now that same reviewer will say Charlie Meck's 150 years old!

If you fish for trout in Pennsylvania, buy this book! The author was born next to a trout stream in PA. He has actually fished in most of the streams he writes about, and provides accurate information about the streams and the hatches to expect. It contains maps and the locations of the special project areas (e.g. artifical lures or fly-fishing only). I have tried a number of streams based soley on his recommendations and have not been disappointed. This is the second edition; it contains a number of streams not included in the first. It is practical and clearly written.

Got me started...curious for more
18. Mai 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I was very excited to get this book - unedxpectedly as I did. I had asked a question in a fly shop and the owner showed this book to me, I bought it, then read it cover to cover. As a fly-fisherman from upstate NY, this book solved many of my curiosities about fishing in PA. I now feel I know where I want to go, and why I want to go to these certain streams.
What I think Meck did well is the following. He knows where he's going - he's been to these rivers. His personal experiences, along with describing local fly fishermen from many of the streams, lent a degree of authenticity to his reviews. I think he was pretty honest about some streams that are not as good now as others, or maybe as good now as they were themselves in the past. He does a great job I felt with describing the temperature situations and how they vary not only from stream to stream but within a stream as well. He also does a nice job reminding us how to be good conservationists as we fish, and what our role can be if we were to live in the area - with helping out the local agencies that are trying to support and protect these streams.
What he is really good at - but which I could do less with - is the hatch information. I understand how some people really want that info, but I found it very redundant, telling how they each have essentially many of the same hatches - during most of the same weeks - over and over and over. He does a very thorough job with this, he's very good at it, just as a reader, it was more than I personally wanted.
What I would have liked to see more of - and this is just me - is more of the recommendations for inns, diners, etc. I guess that comes from an out of stater - that would be for someone else to write about I guess. Also, I found some issues with the maps. If you have a section on a certain steam, they should be on the map. Sometimes they weren't. I'm sure I saw a few errors as well on some points.
Overall, i enjoyed the book a lot. It gave me a very good background to fly fishing PA. I now feel confident that I will purchase a PA fishing license and head to PA to leave some of my money in it's economy.

Too many streams, not enough detail

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I should have read reviews before purchasing this book but I assumed Charlie Meck would have something good here. I was dissapointed, apparently so has everyone else who bought this book. He adds very little detail to the streams he mentions, and he mentions a ton of them. I expected more, in the section regarding Bowmans Creek, which is calls at one time his "home" stream, he even gives an improper location of the Fly Fishing only section, the map is marked wrong, duh.
