I have bought every revision of this book since the seventh. Why? The updated information it provides can be priceless. This fishing bible is not limited simply to what fish are biting and where. You'll find this reference book filled with random tips on what species are most common in different areas of your destination, what to catch them with throughout different seasons, if payment is required to park at certain places, accessible roadside parking, new changes to laws in the areas, where private property may border waterways, the latest state records and individualized tips to help you venture forth and catch your next trophy or meal. The information is endless and the maps are very useful as they show docks, roads, trails, put-ins and take-outs. Coming from an Oregon native and avid fisherman, this book is well worth its weight in gold. One thing to keep in mind is the information in this book is not designed for fly anglers seeking information on hatches and casting techniques. It is a general resource to help you plan for your next trip sufficiently and what to expect when you get there.

As an Oregon native, I'm pretty familiar with the state and use this guide frequently to find new fishing holes within an hour's drive or so from my house. My one concern which keeps me from giving this a five star review is that the book really needs some sort of statewide reference map or even a reference map which is broken down for each region. When we're traveling, sometimes I just want to find a fishing hole along the highway, but since the lakes and ponds are organized alphabetically by name in each region, it's not always easy to find a spot along the route you're driving unless you either already know the name of the fishing spot or you're driving along a highway featured on one of the supplemental maps. If the regional maps were more comprehensive in showing all the lakes listed in the listings, I would use this more when traveling. Otherwise, this book is excellent. The tips for each fishing hole have been very productive for me.

Darn near tells you what rock to stand on and when to stand on it.
My second copy. Great for fly or traditional gear fisherman.

Excellent and up to date info on fishing in Oregon! Everything you need to know!

My husband was very satisfied with the book. He has an old one and when I say old, I mean OLD, I'm sure he will have the new one for many years too.

We got the book quickly and in excellent shape. Thanks. If we ever need another book of any kind we will look to you.

I bought this for my husband since we are considering retiring to Oregon. I can't tell you how much he loves this book. I don't think he has put it down since it arrived in mail. Truly a well put together book of all of the great fishing places in Oregon.
