Editorial Review:
Famed for its finicky trout and spirited (but rapidly disappearing) steelhead, Northern California is an angler's paradise. Acclaimed fishing author Seth Norman, (The Meanderings of a Fly Fisherman) tours these diverse waters, from the Owens Valley to the Oregon border, and comes up with a very practical and wise guide. Rivers like the Sacramento, Fall, Pit, and Hat Creek are covered with detailed descriptions of access, tackle considerations, and personal observations. And like other volumes in the Wilderness Adventures Press series, there's a full creel of angling tips, hatch charts, and seasonal regulations, along with helpful listings of local accommodations and restaurants.
The Flyfisher s Guide to Northern California covers all of the major fishing waters in the state. Each water is written by an expert flyfisher, who knows the water. The Fall River (Andy Burk): Hat Creek and Pit River (Dick Galland): Hot Creek (Dan Gracia): Yuba and Feather Rivers (Ralph Wood): Truckee Frank Pisciotta): East Carson (Jim Crouse): Lower Owens and East Walker (Kate and Bill Howe): Lower Sacramento (Chip O Brien): Upper Sacramento (Duane Mileman): McCloud River (Frank Holminski): and the Trinity River (Herb Burton). Each expert covers tactics and the best times to fish the water, along with recommended flies and hatch charts. There are over 40 detailed maps of the rivers with river miles and public access points. There is a section on the private waters that have trophy trout and are available for a daily rod fee. There are also listings for fly shops, accommodations, and campgrounds. Let California s flyfishing experts guide you to the best fishing in California.

Rating:  - Missing a few things (Like where these streams are located)!
I picked this book up for some locations of good fly fishing areas nearby (I lived in Northern California at the time). Not having lived there very long, I was not familiar with the specific rivers and their even general locations on a state map of California (and given that these are supposed to be big fishing areas and I fancy myself as being geographically literate - shame on me!). The editor has not deemed fit to include a well marked overall map of the area that leads one to the specific rivers ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed
This book is fine if you want to go to one of the 6 or 8 most famous trout streams in CA, but if you want to try one of the several thousand other places to fish, it has nothing. A much more complete reference is "California Fishing" by Tom Stienstra. While it isn't fly-fishing specific, it is a much more comprehensive book, and rates places based not only on the fishing, but on camping spots, number of people, and scenic beauty, which are at least as important as the fishing, in my ...

Rating:  - Very good reference for the major areas of Northern CA
This book is a collection of writings from different authors who have an intimate knowledge of the rivers they write about. The book is very well organized - giving you maps, tactics, and lodging information. If you are new to Fly Fishing or new to Northern California this book is a must.
