Northwest Fishing Reports

I have to recomend this book to any fisherman. It is called Washington Fishing, it is publised by Foghorn Outdoors amd is wrote by Terry Rudnick. This is my favorite piece of reading material. It is full of lakes directions to the lakes, whats in them, phone numbers of resorts and near by tackle shops and a whole lot more. The book is kind of pricey but I would have paid twice as much as I did for it. AND I DONT SELL THIS BOOK ITS JUST THAT DARN GOOD.

I totally agree! I have read about all the lakes, he just writes so well I don't care what I am reading about. Very useful!

I will definately go get this book.

Good, another convert.=d> :d/

I have it and have used it. Good book, however.......
If we all work very hard in helping Mike and Aaron build this site to what their dreams are of it, we can blow that book right off of the shelves!=d>

I like a handbook sometimes, but I think this website has much more to offer then a book. No way a book can hold information and maps and articles for all that stuff that WL.com has...

Wait til you see what they have planned............o:)

Sound like the book has a lot of good information, I will have get one. Thanks for the information.

Hmm....never seen a fishing book in a library before.

Hey, here's another one, entitled FISHING IN WASHINGTON and Sport Fishing Rules and 2007/2008 Pamphlet Edition. While somewhat dryer reading, it is tremendously informative and is carried at most sporting good stores or sporting good sections, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE!!! If nothing else, download that monkey and you're set for the next 51 weeks! While most of us have already checked it out, let's make sure others do as well.

Not to hijack the thread, but I hope most people pick the pamphlet up and keep it either in their car, tacklebox, or on their boat. You cant squeeze by the Warden by saying "I thought the rule said blah". It might save you a lot of heartache.

I purchased that book quite a few years back and have used it many many times. I think the biggest benefit to this site would be to go through that book, find the lakes that aren't listed here, and include them to the database. I did notice when reading it that there are a number of smaller lakes included in the book that aren't yet on the site.

I have an autographed copy of his 3rd edition where he mentions me in his acknoledgements as a bass fishing fanatic. Don't know why he would say a thing like that. I did enjoy fishing with him and other outdoor writers on the Snake River for smallmouth bass. It is a very good book indeed.
