A Fishermans Guide To Selected Lakes Of South Central Washington

Most fishing guides offer very limited information on a large number of lakes, most of which their authors have never been near. This book provides detailed information on the lake and surrounding area, as well as directions and fishing tips. All lakes included in this book have been personally visited, photographed, and in most cases fished by the author. The emphasis is on the fisherman's perspective, but detailed trail and camping information is provided where applicable. Even those who only wish to hike and camp will find something for them. The lakes selected for inclusion in this book are from Grant, Kittitas and Adams counties of south central Washington. Most are desert lakes, but mountain lakes in Kittitas County are also included. The Adams County lakes are only in the western "Seep Lakes" area. Many, including desert lakes, require a hike. Some can be driven to. The author is a ten-time Washington State record holder, with certified weight records for five different species of fish. Catch data for several hundred lakes, dating back to 1981, has been provided to Washington State fish biologists. Born and raised in northwest Washington and part of a very outdoor oriented family, the author has spent his entire life exploring new places and looking for new waters to fish. Other titles published include "High Lakes of Northwest Washington," "Lakes of North Central Washington," and "Lakes of Northeast Washington and Northern Idaho."
