helpful but out of date,

This review is from: Olympic Mountains Fishing Guide: Olympic National Park & Olympic Peninsula Lakes & Streams (Paperback)
Some of the locations mentioned in this out-of-date book are no longer good fishing holes, and there is some misinformation. However, the ideas about places to visit are excellent and many off-the-beaten-path high lakes are mentioned. A great book for ideas to explore. Just be warned when you get there, it may not be as described. The maps are simple - not for route-finding, use Green Trails or something - but they are extremely helpful in getting your bearings and figuring out where things are relationally.
