Welcome to Flying Pencil Publications, publisher of Fishing in Oregon, The Tenth Edition.
My name is Madelynne Diness Sheehan, author of Fishing in Oregon, “Maddy” to my friends. If you’re new to Fishing in Oregon, I hope you’ll find here not only an introduction to all the state’s fishable waters, but also insight into how to fish this sprawling state with its complex interaction between ocean and inland streams, and its dramatic variations in landscape and year-round fishing opportunities.
If we’ve been fishing together for years (or even decades), you’re holding your book together with rubberbands, and you wonder whether you should purchase the Tenth Edition, or wait for the Eleventh—it may help to know there's no new edition scheduled before Spring, 2012. If you already own the Tenth Edition, look for updates of the state's 100 most important fisheries online at http://www.bestfishinginoregon.com. Check us out through the “Fishing in Oregon” link at that site.

For fifty years (twenty-five under the guidance of Henning Helstrom, twenty-five on my own watch), Fishing in Oregon has distilled the collective knowledge of Oregon anglers and fishery scientists, offering a portrait of Oregon fisheries and how they respond to drought, flood, fire climate change, and the gamut of human interventions. As you use this book to explore Oregon, I welcome you to contribute to that chronicle by letting me know (by phone, letter, or email) of errors, omissions, and changes you encounter in your travels.
Photo Submissions
In January, 2011, we will begin the search for photographs for Fishing in Oregon, Eleventh Edition, including a cover photo. Keep us in mind as you fish and photograph around the state. Contact Flying Pencil Publications for photo submission information.
