5.0 out of 5 stars Best Map/Book of Oregon Ever!, December 14, 2004

By

This review is from: Oregon River Maps & Fishing Guide (Paperback)

This book from Amato publications is truly outstanding. It mixes great maps for over 30 Oregon Rivers, with current and historical information (returns, catch rates, etc.). It lets you know what the best seasons are, shows you the best methods to use, what species to target, boat launches, knots, fly's, hatches, guide contacts, public parks, etc. There is information for both the gear angler and the fly fisherman alike.

This review is from: Oregon River Maps & Fishing Guide (Paperback)

This is a good primer on most of the MAJOR (read crowded) rivers in Oregon. It does not mention any of the hundreds of smaller great fishing rivers, any river tributaries or the Snake River (the second largest river in Oregon). This is a good general guide but most information in this guide is available from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service in much more detail - and for free.

Large scale maps. Very easy to follow. Shows all launching sites along most rivers and creeks. Even tells you what baits work best (Ha Ha)and where to use them. Also info on fly's and lures. Very interesting and helpful. Another "must have" if you fish in Oregon!
