Condition: New. West Coast Steelheader celebrates the sea-going species of rainbow trout. Sportfishing enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest are blessed with the opportunity to fish for one of the world's most powerful and awesome sport fish. West Coast Steelheader celebrates this sea-going species of rainbow trout. The contributing authors draw upon their years of experience and offer readers suggestions and recommendations to truly enjoy and appreciate fishing for winter and summer steelhead. The first fifteen minutes were spent getting comfortable with the pristine surroundings. Steelhead green water passed through some of the nicest steelhead runs I had ever seen - walking-pace flow with large boulders tapering out to baseball-sized rocks at the tailout - totaling about a 75 foot piece of fishable water. My fishing partner was the first to touch a steelhead. It was a chrome-bright doe that weighed about five pounds. Within about half a minute the tail-slashing, water-boiling dance was over. I positioned myself a little further up the river on the next run. This run was a narrow section separated by boulders that divided the river into fishable water and a truly spectacular 300 ft. run that hugged a tree-strewn bank, The river ranged from 2 to 5 foot depths with a number of obvious steelhead-holding waters. I climbed over fallen old-growth cedars and thick brush to reach the head of the run. I adjusted my float length to about six feet, hooked a spawn sac onto my #2 hook and threw my offering in the first fishable part of the run. As I held back slightly on the float, the spawn sac bounced within inches of the bottom. As the bait floated further away, I began to contemplate the difficulties of trying to land a steelhead here. I was perched on an old cedar stump, surrounded by branches about 10 feet above the water. What! That's when I felt the strike totally unprepared, I felt the line tighten, and the rod pounded into a perfect arc. I curved the rod to the side and held the fish out of the debris and branches that were all along the bank. The fish held fast in the current. It appeared to be a male steelhead of about 12 pounds. As the rose color on the side of the steelhead disappeared into the whitewater, the line ripped against my thumb as he went though a series of quick runs and acrobatic, rolling jumps. Snap! I looked around helplessly, somewhere between steelhead heaven and total exasperation. I vividly remember every steelhead I have seen; no two are exactly alike, each having slightly different colorations or markings. I am still in awe of the majestic summer and winter steelhead and the West Coast rivers that the call home. After five seasons of filming the Sportsfishing British Columbia television series I have had the extreme privilege of steelheading with some of the most successful summer and winter steelhead anglers on the West Coast. Professional guide David Murphy has led his clients to more steelhead than any guide in BC - at last count it was over four thousand. In his chapter Natural Baits for Winter and Summer Steelhead Dave shares his practical guiding techniques covering all aspects of natural baits, floats and weight systems, curing roe and river fishing strategies to get you steelheading with the pros. In the chapter Artificials for Winter and Summer Steelhead professional South Coast guide Steve Kaye knows of what he speaks. I have had some incredible steelheading days on some of the most heavily fished steelhead rivers on the West Coast with him. Steve narrows down the infinite number of possibilities that you will need to adapt to for success on the river. He covers all aspects of artificial baits: what to use, where steelhead hold in a river, float fishing, bottom bouncing, weight systems, lines, short float systems and covering water. In Plug Fishing for Steelhead professional guide Matt Guiguet shares his lifelong obsession with steelheading on West Coast rivers. Matt discusses everything you need to know to ef.
