Oregon holds some of the finest wilderness river canyons in the world - and floating them is really the only way to thoroughly see them. That's why Floating & Fishing Oregon's Wilderness River Canyons is so important to planning such a trip: maps, river logs, and recommendations pack a guide which covers everything from low and high waters and class ratings and descriptions to vivid descriptions of shoreline scenery and each river's points of interest. From places to hike along the way to rapids, eddies and waves, each river receives explicit condition descriptions, color photos, maps, and recommendations. A 'must' for planning any serious Oregon river journey.

I took this book with me down the Owyhee River. It told me the river order of the rapids, how to identify each rapid before I was in it, what side to scout on and just how to run the rapid. Melinda also discussed affects of different water levels, camping, and fishing. I met a couple of rafters with another guide book that entered Montgomery rapid on the wrong side and both broke oars. I showed them my book. They took notes.
