"This book is the best that have ever found on steel head fly fishing. I bought my most recent copy because it was a hard copy for my fly fishing collection. I have a soft cover copy which I use often when tying flies.

best of the best
This book is, in my opinion, the best work I've ever seen on steelhead. I bought my most recent copy because as a professional tier and fishing nut I can't do without it. My original copy was loaned to a friend (?) and it was never returned. Besides, it has a picture of my old fishing friend and mentor, Karl Mausser (world record holder for steelhead, see pg.90)
