This is a tribute to this magnificent fish and to steel-headers throughout the Pacific Northwest who have worked to protect steelhead and the rivers they inhabit. Full of helpful hints and secrets for success, this descriptive book hooks its readers and takes them down to the riverbank to feel the power of this extraordinary fish.

This is a compendium of forty-five of Barry Thornton's best article and columns on fishing with flies in the Northwest. Barry focuses on three main angling opportunities -- saltwater fly fishing for Pacific salmon, fly fishing for steelhead and still water fly fishing for rainbow trout. These are the primary fishing sports in the region and provide a worthy challenge for those anglers who have been drawn to fly fishing. The anthology's lively and easy-to-read style is complemented by a vivid thirty-two-page colour section. Full of valuable information, tips on tackle, amusing anecdotes and useful reminders, Fly Fishing will reel-in readers in pursuit of trophy fish.
