Washington fishing guide book recommendations

[coastalcutty]

I've owned Fishing in Oregon for several years and it has allowed me to explore a ton of areas.
Can anyone recommend a similar book for Washington? Fly fishing specific is fine, preferably cold water species.

Amazon link for that "Flyfisher's Guide to Washington" book.

What's funny is that I went to Amazon to look it up and was informed that I'd purchased it already.... back in 2006. I wonder where my copy is?

Fly guide to washington was good back in the day. It is woefully outdated so you will have to filter thru some old info but still could be helpful.

Any other suggestions? Thanks

A lot of the info in the Greg Thomas book is woefully out-dated (several of the fisheries covered in the book are now closed or severely compromised), but that book and a Washington Gazetteer were always close at hand during my first few years of living here. Worth buying just to have on the shelf, IMO.

As suggested by its title, limited in geographic scope, but there's Doug Rose's "Fly-Fishing Guide to the Olympic Peninsula" (2008). I don't know whether it's still in print.

Another one from the archives - books like this stay largely relevant for all the obvious. No need to reinvent, and I doubt any of those lakes and streams have moved. Started running around with an earlier edition in the 90's. Easy to use, practical and really helpful. This and the atlas.
