Great book for Steelhead flies. Excellent for patterns to tie. Part of a 3 book series from Stewart and Allen, Flies for Trout and Flies for Salmon. All 3 should be part of any fly tiers library.

Purchased this pattern book to tie up some flies for my upcoming steelhead trip at Lake Erie. I have this author's book on tying trout flies and it is the best pattern book I have in my extensive library. This book is just as good and I'm extremely pleased with
the detail the author incorporated into this book.
