4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, June 2, 2001

By	Jacqueline M. Lum (North Olmsted, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed this book on the emerging Great Lakes steelhead fishery. The authors cover the basics on steelhead biology, behaviour, leaders, casting techniques, and flies. I liked the chapters on the guides from Ontario, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York. Even though Lake Superior tributaries are different form Lake Ontario tributaries you can still apply the same techniques. All of the guides shared their strategies and tips with the authors. The book has a great chapter on popular steelhead flies in colored plates. I also found the fly tying and leader recipes very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Lakes Steelhead, February 18, 2001

By A Customer

The book contained a lot of useful information for both novice and seasoned steelhead anglers alike. I especially liked the drawings and explantions of techniques. Also helpful is the equipment list at the end of the chapters. I only wish they would have included more detailed information on walk-in and put-in locations for fishing the many rivers. Overall a good addition to your fishing library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Information, August 7, 2005

By	L. Ricks (Houghton, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is no substitue for experience on the water, but the "Guides" section in Great Lakes Steelhead comes in a close second, giving the reader the advantage of learning from the masters around the region. Each chapter within the Guides section provides a wealth of information ranging from technique to fly selection. Every skill level can learn something from this book.
