5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my fishing arsenal!, January 16, 2001

By	Rudy Franco Jr. (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book was excellent. It eliminated any questions I had about drift fishing. The author makes his subject come across clear and easily. The book features MANY color photograph's that simplify things to a very basic level... In short, the author makes it so that there is NO WAY you cannot understand what he is trying to say. In my oppinion, this is a GREAT book for the beginner to intermediate drift fisherman. It covers everything from basic monofilament knots to reading water for the best drifts... he also includes a great section on the various drift bobber styles and the pros/cons on each, AND which bobber is best for what condition. Overall, a GREAT How To book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very highly recommended guide and resource, June 12, 2003

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Jammed from cover to cover with extensive instructions, tips, and color photographs on every page, Color Guide To Steelhead Drift Fishing is a truly "user friendly" resource on everything from acquiring bait; to casting the line; to preparing a caught fish for cooking. Accessibly written by expert fisherman Bill Herzog (who spends approximately 150 days a year on the river), Color Guide To Steelhead Drift Fishing is a very highly recommended guide and resource for dedicated steelhead drift anglers of all skill and experience levels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bill's the best!, February 3, 2003

By	"avidangler" (Seaside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

I would recommend this book for the beginner as well as the advanced steelhead fisherman. Bill has a way of connecting with the reader in a way that is easy to understand,yet he does not "come off" as some other fishing writers do where I have felt better off not buying their book,due to the fact that they obviously are writing it for stupid people. I just like Herzog's writing.

As far as information-wise the chapter on reading water alone is worth it's salt to any neophyte steelheader,and the photography is excellent as well. It is obvious in reading Bill Herzog's Color Guide To Steelhead Drift Fishing that the man speaks from experience and is relating what he has found to work by trial and error.He knows his steelhead fishing!

If you buy this book (which you should) I would also recommend Spoon Fishing For Steelhead by same said author.They don't call him "General Zog" for nothing!
