Great Lakes Steelhead

A Guided Tour for Fly-Anglers

Bob Linsenman and Steve Nevala
Foreword by Carl Richards

Steelhead trout are among the world's most alluring game fish, and their adaptation to the Great Lakes Basin since their nineteenth century introduction is one of sport-fishing's great success stories. In this first book of its kind, Linsenman and Nevala profile 16 top American and Canadian steelhead fly-fishing guides and their strategies in their regions. Each guide's special tips are highlighted in an easy-to-review format.

Subjects covered include: reading the water, sporting fish, fly selection; equipment; specialized casts for steelhead; playing, landing, and releasing fish; photography; and safety.

"Excellent . . . Great fun . . . Solid steelhead strategy."
—Tom Pero, editor and publisher, Wild Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon
