Book Reviews of A Passion for Steelhead (Masters on the Fly series)
Book Review: Specialized content summarizing the two-handed experience
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book that revolves beautifully around swinging modern and traditional flies using spey fishing tactics. If that's what you're looking for, stop reading this and make the investment. If you want to learn about bait or gear fishing...stick with the publications from Frank Amato.
Although pricey, this book is not only a resource and tool for fly design, casting, reading water, and fishing tactics.........it can also proudly sit on your coffee table as a showpiece--since its very lovingly put together with great photos and occasional written jaunts of poetic love for the rivers and its fish. Dedicating itself to western North American rivers, it really allows someone to fall in love again. I also felt that the epilouge, though not what I wanted to hear, is realistic but provides the reader with some tools and resources to take action in trying to preserve this treasure and the habitat of the world's greatest rivers.
