Great fishing guide,
By "dosten" (Encinitas, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors California Fishing: The Complete Guide to Fishing on Lakes, Streams, Rivers, and Coasts (Paperback)
I have Mr. Steinstra's camping book and this is done in a similar vein. He rates each of the fishing spots on a 1-10 scale. It is a delight to read the descriptions on places I have been or places I may never get to.Please note that this is not really a book for beginners. The tips and location details are not tutorials on fishing, but assume you have knowledge of the techniques discussed.

This Is What You Need To Know,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors California Fishing: The Complete Guide to Fishing on Lakes, Streams, Rivers, and Coasts (Paperback)
I have had this book for three years and it is by far the most valuable resource on fishing in California that I own. Locations by region, maps, directions, and discussion of some incredibly obscure spots I never knew existed. The first thing I do when planning a fishing trip with the fellas is open this book and start exploring the hundreds and hundreds of rivers and lakes Tom outlines in detail. We've taken 4 or 5 trips using this book and all have been great. Directions are concise, accessability, facilities and fees are discussed, lures, tackle, and techniques for various locales along with some very entertaining stories make this one of my favorite books in the library.

Suggestions worked.,
By fishing fool (Paradise, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors California Fishing: The Complete Guide to Fishing on Lakes, Streams, Rivers, and Coasts (Paperback)
After reading the fishing suggestions for Big Bear Lake, I used a lure that was suggested for this lake, namely, a rooster tail, and hooked a beautiful two pound trout. I have always used a needlefish lure until now. You know what I'll use in the future! We plan to fish in the High Sierra's next year and this book will be my bible.
