Chapters include; putting it into perspective; the West Branch of the Ausable; the Battenkill - the perfect freestone stream; the Beaverkill, Willowemoc and Neversink; small Catskill streams; the mighty Delaware - three rivers in one; the Esopus - a miniature steelhead fishery; the Housatonic - the creation of a trout fishery; Moosehead Lake rivers - landlocked salmon in primitive waters; New York State's Salmon River - a river in transition.
