Need some help

[lookinforwalleye]

I know there are a lot of accomplished steelhead fishermen on board just wondering if you guys could recommend a good book that covers equipment,techniques,etc.

 

Thanks

Bar none, for me the best is "Steelhead Float Fishing" by Jim Butler. I got my copy in Gagnon's Sports...but check online as well.

Thanks Cliff Amazon has it, there are almost 2000 books on steelheading so I will appreciate some reviews can`t buy them all!

If you can find it "Steelheading in Ontario" by Daryll Cronzy complete pool by pool breakdown of the Saugeen and Bighead Rivers. Didn't make him a very popular guy.

I've never read any steeleheading books, but I have heard him speak and fished the rivers with Mr Butler. If he wrote it, it's worth a read.

Steelhead Dreams, by Matt Supinski.

 

Although its directed more towards the fly angler, over half the book is dedicated to habits, reading water, timing runs, etc.

 

Awesome book by far!

He is without a doubt the most arrogant prick I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. You couldn't pay me to read his drivel.

I am sure some time on the river with you Mike would shorten my learning curve greatly, I`ll give you a call when it gets a little cooler!

If you're handing out invitations I would love to see how it's done.

Hahaha....this is true.

 

I met him at a clave a couple years back. The book on the other hand doesn't reflect any of that...

He preaches at you about "proper" technique. About how there's only one true sporting way to fish for steelhead...swinging a fly. Then him and his guides sit anchored right on top the redds chucking ,ducking and flossing.

 

Heaven forbid you want to book a room at his hallowed lodge and you want to fish...gasp....a centrepin.

Best Streams For Great Lakes Steelhead by Bob Linseman. Again more geared to the fly angler it has a lot of good info that is not fly fishing specific. Probably can get some decent books at your local library, I would check there before spending money on books.
