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 trophy 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.
