Jig Fishing for Steelhead & Salmon [Paperback]

Dave Vedder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2006

If you love to catch steelhead and salmon this may be the most important book you will ever read. Between these covers is all the information you need to find and catch steelhead, coho, chinook, pink and chum salmon in rivers. In addition, there are complete chapters on making your own jigs and on fishing lead jigs in the ocean for salmon. Jig fishing has become very popular recently because many guides and top rods know that many times in many places there is no more effective way to catch steelhead and salmon than with a properly presented jig. Not only is jig fishing extremely effective, it is also a ton of fun. Few thrills in angling match the feel of your line coming tight as a steelhead or salmon inhales a jig you made yourself. If you want to catch more fish and have more fun doing it this book is a must.

Vedder has been able to produce a product with both style and substance; easy to read, but not glib or superficial, detailed but not overwhelmingly so. From a newbie's perspective, a good book to have in the library.

Liked the book alot. I've been jig fishing for steelhead for about 4 yrs and its cool to read about how someone else fishes and observes things differently than you do, it helps you look at things differently when fishing. It opened another door for me. just wished it had more pages to read, because I was really getting into it.
