Colin presents much useful info, and some controversial ideas. He gets us thinking about fish vision -- That's important. I agree with most of Colin's theories, but some need more research. Many eye-opening, underwater, color photos -- You will select baits differently after you read this book.

The best fishing book for trout, steelhead and salmon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is probably the best fishing book I have ever read for catching trout, steelhead and salmon, because the author, Colin Kageyama, backs up his claims with straight forward science. I live on the middle Rogue in Oregon, and fish almost everyday, and build my own spinners,and have tried many different methods.I have used his suggestions with instantsuccess. Mepps also makes his spinners in their"See Best" line. I have seen fish react to hisspinners like no other, where the fish will actually strike the lure multiple times.This book is a must for any serious studentof the sport, and his methods apply toany form of fishing (fly, spin casting, float, etc.).
Don't doubt him, unless you've fished with him.

I've fished with Dr.K several times. I'm always catching myself trying to pick his brain. He has a wealth of knowledge that I am eager to learn and apply to my own fishing tactics. Bottem line is...If the fish can't see your lure for one reason or another, mainly lure color, water color or background color, he isn't going to be striking your lure. I've tested my lures, as well as my fly material and know wether they stay true, but my biggest question is determining what color the water is. We will be addressing that issue real soon. Do you remember the last time you went fishing and got skunked? There are so many variables to take into consideration when you're fishing. By using Dr.K's knowledge and research findings, some of those days you got skunked just might turn out a little bit better. Between my boat,rods,reels,and all the gear, I've spent the better part of 10 grand. I would sure spend 20 bucks to help me become a better fisherman. What do you have to loose, oh wow $20.00!You spent that last week to buy beer, and were's the beer now? Thanks Dr K, see you next time you're in Portland.
Excellent work on what happens underwater with your lures.

Anyone who fishes, especially if you chunk spinners for trout or salmon, will be amazed by the information in this book. Never before has anyone been to give reasons and data why certain colors and lures work for steelhead, salmon and trout. His See-Best technology is great reading and the lures he designed are like nothing you ever fished with.
