"A must have for any angler is "The Definitive Guide to Fishing in Northern California," by Chris Shaffer. This book is absolute gold for the beginner and hardcore angler alike." |
"With his latest work, Chris Shaffer has transformed himself from an
L.A. guy who likes to fish into one of the countrys best young
outdoors writers. The Definitive Guide lives up to its name and
will amaze any serious angler with the depth and breadth of its
material. In fact, this book is better than Shaffer's first, which
covered Southern California, and that work is a must for an outdoorsmans
shelf. Covering nearly 400 fishing spots, including the Eastern
Sierra, the Definitive Guide to Fishing in Central California
covers nearly every conceivable fishing spot in the greater Central
California area. How Shaffer fished it all is anyon's guess,
but the thorough reporting makes it clear he has, and it will
keep an angler busy for years." |
In my business, information is the key to success. Ive seen and used numerous guide books over the years, but Ive NEVER seen a publication with as much thorough, accurate, detailed information as "The Definitive Guide to Fishing Northern California." It takes very little time to understand what makes this guidebook different than similar publications written on Northern California: author Chris Shaffer obviously took the time to personally fish every single pond, stream, river, lake, slough and backwater he writes about. He provides the kind of "inside information" that you can only get from time spent on the water, and it will undoubtedly translate into more people catching more fish throughout Northern California. This book should absolutely be part of any California anglers library regardless of whether theyre grizzled old veterans or newcomers to the sport. |
"Wow! What an incredible piece of worm. I feel that your book is like Trinity Lake, its too good not to share. Congratulations Chris! The next guy who wants to write a Comprehensive Fishing Guide will take one look at your book and figure out theres no way to match the effort and decide to write a guide to mushroom collecting or some such." |
"Not yet a quarter-century old, Chris Shaffer may be the best informed and certainly one of the hardest working outdoor experts I know and with ISE producing six huge sportsmens events throughout the West, I work with a lot of experts! Chriss new book, The Definitive Guide to Fishing Northern California, is even bigger, better looking, and more information packed than his central and south books. But what I value the most is the books emphasis on such a wide variety of guides and outfitters, especially younger experts." |
"This guide is so good I have two copies. One is for reading during leisure time and one is being wornout while I work on assessing reservoir fish populations. The angling information is top quality and the photography is excellent. Every angler should get a copy of this book before it is gone." |
