The guide book is a good start to a new WA fisher. It covers the major river systems (only) in good detail. It does not mention any of the other waters. The hatch guides are helpful and the river descriptions give you a good idea of what to expect.

This isn't the book for you if you are already familiar with the popular stream and you are looking for some out-of-the-way sleeper streams.

Compared to other Wilderness Adventures Press, "Flyfisher's Guide to..." books I have read and own,(CO & N. CA) this one is a bit lacking. Fishing tactics and recommended tackle is covered well, but the driving directions are a bit vague and maps aren't as detailed as they could be. Also there are only hatch charts for a selected few of the fisheries. Other WAP books I have read included hatch charts/fly suggestions for most if not all the fisheries it covered. If you are a WA flyfishirman chances are you already have this book. Even if it's a bit lacking compared to other WAP books, if you live in WA or fish WA regularly, you should own this book. It just seems a bit dated and could use a revision. My .02 cents.

Well written summaries that are concise and enjoyable to read. Nice reference to add to your library if you flyfish in WA.

It is the best there is but it has become rather dated. It is ten years old. The rivers and lakes it covers are done exceeding well but many other waters are not covered at all. It would be nice if more attention was focused on the waters near the population base of the state, the Puget Sound area. Maybe Greg Thomas will do us a great favor and write an update version. One can hope!!

Really didn't explain much except during peak fishing times. I was not able to be there then, so was very disapointed.

Comprehensive and useful info. Will help fishermen choose among alternatives in areas they are interested in traveling to. Seems to be very current information.
