5.0 out of 5 stars
Strongly recommended for steelhead anglers from the most experienced to the novice beginner,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Side-drifting For Steelhead (Paperback)
Side-Drifting For Steelhead is a one-of-a-kind fishing guide that informs the reader of a controversial form of fishing for steelhead, the best way to catch a steelhead in the steelhead rivers running throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, British Columbia, Alaska, Idaho, and the Great Lakes. J.D. Richey (a renowned side-drifting fisherman and guide) and co-author Fred Contaoi tactfully work in unison to produce a most descriptive, "user friendly" instructional guide to all aspects of the side-drifting method for steelhead. Strongly recommended for steelhead anglers from the most experienced to the novice beginner, Side-Drifting For Steelhead is an instructional guide book for personal and community library fishing reference collections.

This review is from: Side-drifting For Steelhead (Paperback)
Wanted a clear discussion about the various techniques used in drift boat fishing on streams in the area.This book does an excellant job. Not long winded - just to the point. Valuable information for fishing a drift boat or pontoon boat on a stream.
4.0 out of 5 stars
steelhead fishing,
This review is from: Side-drifting For Steelhead (Paperback)
Since Dan wrote this book, side drifting has become a very common way to catch steelies here in the pacific northwest.This book certainly contributed to that. Instructions are straightforward and clear. A worthwhile read. Wayne Heinz, author of, How to Catch Salmon, Sturgeon, Lingcod, Rockfish, and Halibut Along the Pacific Coast: Fish On!
