Steelhead, ranging in size from four to over 30 pounds, are one of the finest game fish to be found in the entire world. They are very strong and fast, with a desire to jump spectacularly when hooked, which places them at the top of the list of the most exciting fresh water fish in North America. As migratory fish steelhead force the angler to become a hunter with a rod. The better informed you are concerning steelhead biology, habits and needs, the more successful you will be. Steelhead Float Fishing treats in depth some of the finest angling techniques available for steelhead throughout their entire range--creeks and rivers from Alaska to California and in many of the famous tributaries of the Great Lakes, where steelhead are also very abundant after having been imported from the Pacific Coast in the last century. If you take the author's lifetime-learned steelhead information to heart you have the potential of seriously increasing your steelhead hooking success and becoming a master of the sport. Steelheaders are a breed apart, enjoying a sport that can be compared with the most challenging hunting in the world, but its wonderfully rewarding experiences are as close as the nearest appropriate river.

Not a float fishing book,
By
This review is from: Steelhead Float Fishing (Paperback)
I purchased this book to mainly study up on float fishing techniques. Since I am new to this type of fishing, I figured that it would be a good idea getting to know the sport thru professionals than random trial and error. So with high hopes of learning about float fishing, I purchased this book. Wow! What a mistake. It does not give any detailed information on float fishing specifically but instead give a very general description of steelheading in the great lakes. No real tips and tricks specifically for float fishing but just for steelhead in general. In my opinion, I did not learn anything about float fishing that I already did not know and did not learn anything about fishing the great lakes that I did not already know.
Don't buy this book if you want to learn about float fishing for steelhead. But do buy this book if you want general information about great lake steelheading and the various forms of how to fish for them. I give it one star because its title is misleading. It should read "Steehead of the great lakes".

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steelhead Float Fishing (Paperback)
Float fishing is the preferred method for steelhead on the feeder streams and tributaries of the Great Lakes during the fall and spring steelhead fishing seasons. Steelhead expert Jim Butler provides a complete 'how to' introduction for novice anglers in "Steelhead Float Fishing" that includes the history of float fishing, the aquatic behaviors of steelhead, 'reading' water, the various float fishing techniques and strategies, natural and artificial baits, float reels and how to cast them, building balsa floats, and a great deal more. A complete instruction manual, "Steelhead Float Fishing" is 'must' reading for anyone setting out in either the spring or the fall to fish for steelhead in Great Lakes country!

This book provided some basic information but was oriented to the wrong geographgic location for me. As a result it was of little use to me.
