I am an avid California fisherman and spend most of my time fishing for the elusive Kokanee. Dave Biser has written a book that will greatly increase my Kokanee hook up this 2000 fishing season. I appreciate his detail in discussing the many types of lures, presentations, and miscellaneous tackle. Also, at the end of the book is a listing of addresses and phone #'s where the reader can contact a manufacture listed in the book. Pay attention to the chapter on scents because using "pro cure" is an idea I've never heard of until I read this book. It was easy to relate to Daves first experience in the small 14' aluminum boat, with the smoke belching 2-stroke, the big pen reels and lead-core. I've fished that method a hundred times.

This book knocked my socks off. All I knew about kokanee when I started was a desire to fill my smoker with them. Now I feel I know more about these critters than I do about trout - and I've been fishing them for the last 5 years. Perfect blend of biology, technique, and expereince to make Kokanee fishing a reality for anyone who'd like to try. Now all I have to do is find a boat...<grin>

Fantastic insight to the art of Kokanee fishing. Dave has a delightful way of sharing his knowledge and insight that had me taking notes and treating the book as Gospel.
An awesome read for anglers.

bought this book for my husband and he has been enjoying reading it.
said it is informative. glad for the purchase

From beginners to experts this book has something new in it for everyone. The list of lakes where Kokes can be found is helpful in planning trips. It also explains several methods to fish for Kokes. Whether you are fishing on a budget or have money to burn, the book will give you a technique you can afford. The book also spends time explaining the biology and ecology of the fish. Understanding your target species will always help you catch it. If you fish Kokes get this book.

Understanding and catching the wylie Kokanee is laid out with great detail. The secrets disclosed make me anxious to get the equipment and start fishing. You can't read this book and not get excited to give his techniques a whirl. That is especially true of someone (like me) that lives a short drive from the heart of great Kokanee habitat.

I know some of the people referenced in this book. Great information and a bundle of knowldedge. Some of the product references could be updated but the knowledge and style of catching Kokanee are right on the mark.

I don't fish. some time ago I gave it up, but fish are interesting animals. Mr. Biser gives an interesting read into the Kokanee. I especially like the fact that he doesn't try to come through putting himself forward as the expert of all experts on Kokanee, but presents what is some careful research from the people for whom Kokanee are a passion. If you fish or if you don't, this is well worth reading.

I am UNHAPPY I cannot change the order that shows a duplicate. I wrote the order this morning and I waited for Amazon response in my E-mail and I found none until this eve. I talked to one of your agents and she told me I had no duplicates. I could not find my orders. I am UNHAPPY.
