lookinforwalleye Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited October 6, 2011 by Musky or Specks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 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. 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.

fish_finder Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 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.

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. The Muskegon Mouthpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
