Fly Fishing Books: Amato's Northern California River Maps & Fishing Guide

Sacramento Bee writer Allen Pierleoni suggests that if you fish northern California, you owe it to yourself to read Amato’s Northern California River Maps & Fishing Guide (November 2006, 48 pages, 35 maps). “It offers straightforward, detailed information on trout fishing on 35 rivers — 18 coastal rivers, six northern inland and 11 in the Valley. Plus: color drawings of 13 freshwater sportfish, the months of various insect hatches, techniques for gear fishing and fly fishing, how-to guides for knots, and other handy advice.”
