Customer Reviews

It's all in the details

I picked up this book to learn the techniques of Chuck-n-Duck fishing. It explains the rigging, structure, casting, etc... It's a great help to get started, but it doesn't make up for time on the water. It covers Great Lakes steelhead and salmon fishing and not the NW. There's a big difference between the two mindsets and techniques. I would definately buy it again. Tight lines.

FLY FISHING FOR SALMON & STEELHEAD OF THE GREAT LAKES

Superb book. While this book does not have the nice glossy pictures that Steelhead Dreams does, its content is much better in my opinion. I especially liked the fact that Filkins presents all fly fishing methods applicable to Great Lakes salmonoid fishing without prejudice. He covers a wide swath of Great Lakes streams and I learned a great deal about some of the variations that exist in the fishery. A must read for the Great Lakes salmon & steelhead fisherman.

How to catch more Great Lakes trout and salmon

Very informative book on fly fishing for salmon and trout in the Great Lakes and why and how it is different from salmon fishing in the northwest. Full of useful information and innovative techniques. If you want to catch more salmon or steelhead in the Great Lakes' tributaries, this is must reading.

Hooked on Steelhead

I bought this book to improve my luck on the St. Joe River. I loved it , cover to cover. Flies for the fish, not for display or to store in another flybox. This is a guide to practical, easily tied fish getters and how to present them. I felt included as I read about the rivers I have fished here in the midwest. The author gives a clear, common sense explanation covering tackle from rods to tippets. I enjoyed his stories which put me back on streams I had fished long ago. I'm hooked!
