The Olympic Peninsula Rivers Guide: Floating, Fishing, and Recreation on the Peninsula's Best Streams

Fabulous book for those looking to fish Washington's Olympic Peninsula. This book gives a brief overview of each river, details on the fish species found, and a brief description on floating it. Many black and white pictures are included as well as some very nice color photographs. Each river has a little map. Would recommend this book highly to the fisherman new to the peninsula looking for an overview of each river system. Steve Probasco does a fantastic job of summing up the rivers and I still refer to it after living out here for a few years. In fact after reading about some of the rivers again I plan on trying some of the smaller streams outlined. There is a whole lot of garbage on the internet and this book eliminates having to wade through a bunch of lies and sums up the rivers and streams quite nicely.Note: The Elwha river is closed to fishing for five years due to dam removal.

My husband loves the book!

Let me begin by saying that Steve Probasco has written and published some excellent NW fishing articles, books and magazines...and that's why this book is such a disappointment. The amount of valuable information it contains is marginal and may be a reflection of the pre-internet times it was written. Save your money and search the web--you'll find a lot more information for free. The sad part is that Steve has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Olympic Peninusla and its wonderful anadramous fishery. He could have put out a killer book: this is not it.
