Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Lily Tso Wong, Ph.D., is a native of California. For over two decades, she ventured into countless challenging and rewarding watersheds in Northern California and the High Sierras. A fly-fishing instructor at the American River College and Sacramento City College, Lily is the recipient of the California Fly Fishers Unlimited 1991 Distinguished Member Award. The award stems from her many years of outstanding leadership serving as President, President-Elect, Vice President, Newsletter Editor, and Outings Chairperson. She is the seventh member to receive the honorable award from over 200 memberships since the club's inception in 1962. Lily participated as guest speaker at the Federation of Fly Fishers' International Conclave in Oregon, numerous Northern California Fly Fishing clubs, and other organizations. Her fly-fishing skills touch on where, when, and how to fly-fish for salmon, trout, and steelhead in California waters. Besides taking pleasure fishing her favorite waters, she has led large groups of fly-fishers to many trout and steelhead waters.

Dr. Wong's articles have appeared in several issues of fly-fishing. One of her primary interests in fly-fishing is to investigate fish habitat and how each species of fish adapts to changing conditions in nature's ecological surroundings. This led to spectacular fishing adventures in primary and lesser-known waters throughout California. In addition, Lily adds new touches of creativeness to her fly tying skills by creating her own favorite fly patterns with confidence. Lily credits the fly patterns she designs to her artistic background.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Organized, May 14, 2007
By 
This review is from: Fly-Fishing Northern California Waters (Paperback)
I live in Northern, CA, so I was particularly excited when I found this book. I had hoped that I could use it to find new waters to fish, wherever I was in CA. Unfortunately, the book is organized poorly, by watershed, as opposed to locality. If you don't know which rivers drain where, finding a new place to fish is a real pain. Once you do find it, there doesn't seem to be much detail. I was able to use it to find several BODIES of water (lakes, lagoons, etc.), but overall this book ends up being a poorly thought-out manual by someone who is evidently quite knowledgeable on the subject. Too bad--maybe a second edition will correct these problems.
