Fly Fishing the Olympic Peninsula

Washington's Olympic Peninsula can amply reward the fly-fisher who doesn't mind putting a little effort into a day on the water. As the author says in his introduction, "if you can read water and don't mind walking you can connect with large, wild fish ... and if you seek solitude and wilderness when you fish, the beaches, rivers and lakes of Olympic National Park offer settings as remote and pristine as any place in the lower 48 states." What follows is a narrative journey around this spectacular landscape of jutting mountains, giant trees, and tumbling rivers. The author doesn't so much guide readers to the good holes and riffles as tantalize them with a seemingly endless array of angling possibilities. The rest is left to the fly-fisher with a sense of adventure.
