Take a trip down one of America's most historic rivers with this complete guide to paddling and fishing the South Branch and Upper Potomac Rivers, which covers the water between the Smoke Hole Canyon on the South Branch in West Virginia to the last takeout before the Great Falls on the Main Stem, not far from Washington, D.C.

The author reveals the best angling spots, every rapid and major access point, and where the best wildlife and scenery are found, making this an essential guide for rivergoers of all kinds. As a bonus, Ingram includes information on trout fishing in the headwaters, smallmouth bass tactics, birding, and history.
