The essential book for the Greenbrier Valley

Dr. Smith has really created a great guide to anyone interested in fishing the Greenbrier River Valley. The book has a clear and concise format that makes it very easy to read and follow. Dr. Smith lists many of the more popular trout streams in the valley along with stocking schedules, lure suggestions, and clear driving directions. He even goes so far as to list the page in The West Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer where the streams can be located. For Bass fishing, Dr. Smith lists some really great float trips on the Greenbrier (including directions to the put in and takeouts, trip length, best time of year to go), as well as a few trips that can be taken on Bluestone Lake. Make no mistake this is not a story book. It is a well written guide book that can helpful to those of us who have fished in the Greenbrier valley most of our lives. As essential as the West Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer.
