Broadly speaking, New England's freshwaters can be divided into warm and cold. Some species, like landlocked salmon or trout, seldom prosper where water temperatures exceed 60 degrees Fahrenheit. These fish thrive in the infertile, oxygen-rich lakes and streams at higher elevations or in wates fed by cold springs. In contrast, most species - including largemouth bass, pickerel, and catfish - thrive in warmer water, farthur downstream or in still lakes and ponds at lower elevations. From the estuaries, an environment alternately fresh and salinated by the turning of the tides, anadromus fish migrate upstream into fresh water to spawn in spring and fall. This books's chapters are arranged so you swim upstream from the estuaries, over the dams and into warm water, and finally up the icy tributaries and lakes of the high country. To help you find species near you, the waters are listed by proximity to nearby towns. In nothern Maine, ponds and lakes are arranged by couny as well.

Most major breakthroughs were either published first in the magazine or spearheaded by one of its people. Therefore, probably no one was more qualified to compile a complete book of WALLEYE WISDOM...Throughout the book we make use of the IN-FISHERMAN classification system of lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, and our Calendar Period format, to exactly explain specific circumstances - in terms of when (what season, what time of day, etc. ) , and where (the exact structural locale) . In this way, when we explain 'presentation' (how to go about catching the walleye) , the reader will be able to visualize exactly under what circumstances to apply that specific method. No guesswork here! WALLEYE WISDOM is at once a reference guide and a handbook. It is meant to be read for backgrond material and to act as a tutor for practical applications on the water.
