It there is a body of water in Oregon with fish in it, its listed in this book. From salmon to largemouth bass, Fishing in Oregon will put you on 'em. My only complaint is with some of the directions to the locations. Unless you're fairly familiar with the area mentioned it can get a bit tricky. Though a good Oregon map pretty much makes up for any difficulty. If you live in Oregon and you fish, this book is a must.

If you fish or plan to fish in Oregon, you need this book. It has all the information that you could possibly need to get to, and successfully fish almost any public and many private bodies of water.

I would also recommend that you carry a copy of the State fishing regs. Some of the things the author says about open season and where you can fish on some river systems has changed.

All in all, this is the second best investment I have made in my fishing hobby. (The first being my license.)

My old edition on Fishing in Oregon was long since falling apart and I was waiting on pins and needles for the new version. I was not dissappointed!

Fishing in Oregon Ninth Edition is even more comprehensive than it's predesessors. The maps are awesome, and the directions are clear and easy to follow.

If you love to fish, this book is THE invaluable resource for all of Oregon!

The good news is that book lists most fishing areas in the state by region. It is very comprehensive. The bad news is that the book only tells you where these spots are by region. You cannot find your way to most of the fishing spots from this book only. You must have an additional map that is detailed enough to show all of the various streams and lakes by name. I found this disappointing.

This book is a must have for anyone fishing in oregon, it tells you about EVERY water thats fishable in oregon. I would give it a 4 for fly fishers because it does not give too much info about fly fishing diffrent waters.
