Steve Probasco (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1999

Washington's Olympic Peninsula is one of the last pristine regions in the contiguous United States. Old-growth firs and wild salmon still rule this incredible wilderness. Centered around Olympic National Park, a living network of untamed rivers connects the region. Steve Probasco has lived on the peninsula for over twenty years and has fished, floated, hiked, and climbed in all of the river valleys. This unique book reveals his experience and will help you learn the trails, fishing holes, whitewater, and more. The Olympic Peninsula Rivers Guide is packed with access and resource information such as when and where salmon, steelhead, and trout are found in the rivers, boat ramp locations, whitewater spots, and many other outdoor recreation aspects of the river corridors. Over sixty maps and photographs accompany the informative and insightful text.

This review is from: Olympic Peninsula Rivers Guide: Fishing, Floating, and Recreations on the Peninsula's best streams (Paperback)

Let me begin by saying that Steve Probasco has written and published some excellent NW fishing articles, books and magazines...and that's why this book is such a disappointment. The amount of valuable information it contains is marginal and may be a reflection of the pre-internet times it was written. Save your money and search the web--you'll find a lot more information for free. The sad part is that Steve has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Olympic Peninusla and its wonderful anadramous fishery. He could have put out a killer book: this is not it.
