Amazon.com Review
If that lunker on the cover isn't enough to get you out on the river, maybe the excellent instruction inside will provide the confidence you need to go after one of the world's most coveted fighting fish. Meyer covers the basics of tactics and technique as well as advanced aspects of the sport such as spey rods, dry flies, and even stalking small streams for big fish. Color action shots and plates add to the professional presentation of Meyer's material. This is a book all serious steelheaders can return to again and again for guidance.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a large variety of techniques,
By Jason Michaud (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Fly Fishing for Steelhead: Flies and Technique (Paperback)
This book covers most every technique I'm aware of for fly fishing for steelhead. It goes into great detail for a variety of conditions making the information useful year around. My only wish is that the book is not available in a pocket version.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential book for the steelheader's library,
By CW "CW" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Fly Fishing for Steelhead: Flies and Technique (Paperback)
Well written, insightful book. Equally suited for the beginner as well as the more seasoned steelheader. Lots of great info on casting techniques including greased line and spey. Mostly oriented around west coast fishing but the techniques should be applicable for their transplanted brothers in the Great Lakes. IMHO this and "Steelhead Fly Fishing" by Trey Combs are the two essentials for any steelhead fly fisherman's reference library.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Advanced Fly Fishing for Steelhead: Flies and Technique (Paperback)
No matter what style of fly, line, rod or water you prefer to steelhead fish there is a chapter or section for you. A lot of information about fly styles, depth of water fished, lines, summer, winter, low water, greased line etc, there is plenty to learn in this book.
