makes you feel like you're there

The perfect book for any lover of the Umpqua. Gives you a glimpse at the local knowledge. I read it every time I go...

The title is accurate...

This is a wonderful book, full of history and insight, and a little humor. There are even some great fishing tips for the river if one reads carefully and a little between the lines. Mr. Baughman loves the river, as does the photographer Dan Callaghan. I do too, and I hope this book inspires other people to love the river and protect it for future generations. For those who don't know it, the North Umpqua is a Federal Wild and Scenic River, located on a Scenic Highway. There is very challenging and very rewarding fishing, but fishing is but a small measure of the N. Umpqua experience. As well as the great beauty of the main river, there are many waterfalls on feeder streams. The scenery and wildlife is great for those who move slowly and peacefully.If you would like to learn about this river, I encourage you to read this book. If you visit the river, please help protect it; it's a treasure. Michael Baughman sees it right, too.

One book seen right

A wonderfully written tale of outdoors and flyfishing. Read this book on the advice of a friend and halfway through I was pulling out the fishing and camping gear and planning a winter trip. This book is a small treasure of a find.
