Washington Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing Guide (Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing Guides)

Like his other angling guidebook for the Pacific Northwest, Oregon Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing, John Shewey's guide to Washington is filled with essential information for the fly angler. Shewey covers watersheds on both sides of the Cascades as well as the Olympic Peninsula, noting access points, effective patterns, and stream tactics. The emphasis is on steelhead, but the Yakima's wild rainbows receive their due, as do the many eastside lakes. Hatch charts and color plates of standard flies make this a particularly useful guide to the Evergreen State's diverse fisheries.
