Oregon fishing maps

[Tom]

One of my objectives for our recent trip to Oregon and Washington was to get in some fly fishing for trout. Due to other factors, we'd left in a hurry and I forgot to load my "Trout fishing in xxx" books into the motorhome. I scoured a few book stores and tackle shops in Oregon before finding what I needed.

One of the most useful books I bought was Oregon River Maps & Fishing Guide from Frank Amato Publications. It measures 15" x 11", about the size of your typical road atlas. It contains, among other things:

• Detailed river maps with clearly identified access points and drift boat launch/landing areas.
• Stream conditions.
• Limited number of photos.
• Fish species, best gear, fishing techniques, seasonal variations and average hookups per year, separated for bait and fly fishing.
• Hatch information and fly patterns for the fly fisher.
• Local services such as motels, RV parks and tackle shops.

Well worth the money and very useful.
