From the Author
Many fishermen have told me that one of the first things they notice is that the book gets to the point of catching fish right away.
Steelhead & Salmon Drift-Fishing Secrets is about getting fish on the hook and that’s all. Commercialism is overtly avoided so fishermen can concentrate on learning the hidden secrets of what it takes to get fish immediately and often. The concept of drift fishing is not difficult, though many guides would have fishermen believe otherwise; which is one of the reasons for the book. Anyone can do it.
Look…all the tools are there for you, all you have to do is utilize them and I promise you’ll catch more fish than you can shake a stick at. If you need to build confidence take the book in the field with you and use it for references on how to read water and fish holds will reveal themselves to you; the illustrations of the color photographs make it extremely easy to know the difference between a tail-out, riffle, pool, slot, seam, and back-eddy. The section that shows how to spot fish is something fishermen will learn in seconds. Fishermen will find the reconnaissance section of the book advantageous since it shows how to anticipate the arrival of steelhead and salmon on any system anywhere that produces these fish. The list of items in the table of contents goes on and on but the applications of them are remarkably easy. Every person that has ever gone fishing with me or simply used my applications on his or her own has gotten fish; every single one of them.
All fishermen can catch steelhead and salmon. I’ve heard the stories about the 10 percent of fishermen catching 90 percent of the fish. It doesn’t have to be true. The secrets that are horded by those 10 percent are in this book, and many secrets they don’t know are in the book as well.
Have a good time catching fish but don’t forget to release some of them now and again.
