Download or read book Fishing Mount Hood Country written by Gary Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is at once the most recognizable icon in Oregon and yet it is little known by the multitudes that live in the shadow of Mt. Hood. For the first time, this book opens up the fishing opportunity available on the slopes of Wy'East and in the rivers that flow out of its glaciers and gather water from its springs. In Fishing Mount Hood Country, authors Gary Lewis and Robert H. Campbell are joined by Dave Kilhefner, Terry Otto and Blake Miller as they tell tales of water, trout, steelhead and salmon and provide a detailed, thoughtful look at the best fly- and gear fishing in Mount Hood country. The book is divided into two sections - Western and Eastern - by the Pacific Crest Trail. Some of the best fishing in the state is found in these rivers and some of the most remote angling for wild trout is found here as well. Hike the trails that lead to rainbows and cutthroat in high country lakes and drift the whitewater for steelhead and salmon. Now you are Fishing Mount Hood Country.

Download or read book David Douglas a Naturalist at Work written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a meteoric career that spanned from 1825 to 1834, David Douglas made the first systematic collections of flora and fauna over many parts of the greater Pacific Northwest. Despite his early death, colleagues in Great Britain attached the Douglas name to more than 80 different species, including the iconic timber tree of the region. David Douglas, a Naturalist at Work is a colorfully illustrated collection of essays that examines various aspects of Douglas's career, demonstrating the connections between his work in the Pacific Northwest of the 19th century and the place we know today. From the Columbia River's perilous bar to luminous blooms of mountain wildflowers; from ever-changing frontiers of technology to the quiet seasonal rhythms of tribal families gathering roots, these essays collapse time to shed light on people and landscapes. This volume is the companion book to a major museum exhibit about Douglas's Pacific Northwest travels that will open at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Spokane in September 2012.
