Don't buy this book if you want any insights into Western Washington lake fly fishing, you won't find anything you don't already know. The author admits this by pointing out in the introduction that most of Washington's productive lakes are on the eastside. But, he seems to gloss over many westside lakes I already knew about. I'm sure it's a good guide for the upper Columbia region, but as far as being comprehensive, its not.

I purchased this book in anticipation of a trip my wife and I were taking to Washington. Thumbing through the book, I found it's arranged into regions and each region highlights a half dozen or so lakes. This was tremendously helpful to someone like me, who's not familiar with the state and its waters. Maps are hand drawn and generally good and the information on each lake is succinct and probably accurate. What's surprising is the lack of photos of fish caught either by the author, or other anglers. It's always nice to see a representative specimen or two from the body of water you're reading about, and aside from this personal preference, I'd say the book is a very informative guide and is well worth the investment if you're looking for some general information on where to go in Washington.
