Expanded fishing information tells you where to cast a line for small-mouth bass, perch, native speckled trout, and more. The ponds that Smith describes range from a tree-lined roadside beauty perfect for a spontaneous swim to an isolated mountain tarn reached only after a day of serious hiking or snowshoeing. He weaves into the text anecdotes and quotations culled from old guidebooks and local history.

Each of the 68 descriptions include: * A trail description * Directions to road or trailhead access, with a topographical map * A summary of hiking facts, pond and lake statistics, activities, and fishing opportunities * Descriptions of nearby overlooks that offer bird's-eye views * Notes on visiting in winter
