For the PNW bank fishing for salmon this book is one of two i ALWAYS consult the other is drift fishing for salmon and steelhead, this book is a true wealth of info! this guy knows his stuff and shares it in an easy to read format i HIGHLY reccomend

This is a great book full of info if you plan to fish for salmon and steelhead in the rivers of the pacific northwest. I have learned a lot from this book and my son and I have caught plenty of salmon. It's crazy to watch these fish go through there spawning cycle and then fade away for the next generation to take their place. This book shows you the basics of the sport and then some(plenty of info though, more to it than you might think). I might buy another book specific to drift fishing. I wish there was more rigging illstrations and more detailed info on methods of fishing like drifting. All in all a great read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for info on salmon fishing. One side note: you don't need really expensive gear to catch fish. They don't care. Just make sure it works for your application and take care of it. Rivers are tough on gear, people and fish. Good luck!

Takes a position that a person already knows a fair deal about the sport itself. I was hoping it was more of a "for dummies" kind of aspect, as I am relocating to Alaska and am adept at Midwest angling, but was hoping for a "take it from the top" kind of approach. The chapters just sort of jump into what you would be doing as if the camera suddenly "jumped" to you fishing in the middle of a stream-almost like a show on Outdoor Channel, if that makes sense. ** "...We now join John Doe on the Chena River as he pursues...." **

This book is aimed towards Northwest fishing places and not applicable to my region. The information is clear for sure. I was expecting something different but, if I ever go to the Nothwest I will definitely use this guide as a reference.
