The Rogue River is one of the Northwest's richest streams, supporting large numbers of spring and fall Chinook salmon, coho, summer and winter steelhead, trout, and other fish. In this River Journal, Richmond shares: the formation of the river; a description of the river; its often-violent history; effective flies with color plate; tactics for the species you'll encounter; boating the Rogue; and more. This rugged western river has attracted numerous fly-fishers to her banks--Zane Grey and Ginger Rogers included. This book shows why this river has earned its great fly-fishing reputation. Authored by expert angler and writer Scott Richmond, the Rogue River Journal provides an intimate portrait of the river in all its moods, an in-depth look at the fly fishing in the area, and a fascinating exploration of the history, people, and natural wonder that have earned the water a place in the fabric of American fly fishing lore. Area maps provide information on access, boating and camping on the river with detailed descriptions of the hatches, flies, fishing, lodging, guide and fly shop services in the area. Each journal is printed in full color on high quality-glossy paper with many excellent color photos (50 to 60) complementing the text. 8.5x11 inches, 48 pgs.
