Description

The state of Oregon is a fly-fishing paradise. From famous trout rivers such as the Deschutes and Metolius, to steelhead on the Umpqua and the Rogue, to abundant smallmouth on the John Day, Oregon has it all. Editor-in-chief of American Fly Fishing magazine and long-time Oregon resident John Shewey showcases 50 flies that are essential for anyone planning a trip to this state. Each fly pattern is accompanied by a stunning, detailed image with a recipe. Shewey, a recognized authority on West Coast flies and their histories, not only explains how to fish and rig each pattern but also includes interesting historical information that makes this book the perfect complement to other fishing guides to the state.
