Synopsis

Through lyrical prose and colorful photography, Jeff Bright explores our "obsession" with the mighty steelhead. The thrill of the take, the beauty of the fish, and the joy and solitude we experience when we immerse ourselves into their habitat, all are discussed with the aim of emphasizing the value of wild steelhead and their rivers.

This unique book celebrates what we hold dear, the great sport of steelhead fly fishing.

About this title

About the Author

Jeff Bright lives in San Francisco with his wife, Clair, and is a successful independent graphic designer, semi-retired western swing singer, songwriter and music producer, unabashed romantic and proudly unreformed idealist. He is also a steelhead-obsessed flyfisher who'd just as soon be standing waist-deep in a sparkling river speycasting a Green Butt Silver Hilton as nearly any other activity know to man. He has a large heart and hard head of a poet. Perhaps this is why he so readily identifies with the steelhead and its upstream journey.

Through his design business, Jeff has become involved with California Trout and Friends of the Trinity River, two critical organizations that have long been active in the effort to protect and restore the State's wild steelhead and their environs. Moving forward, a particular goal of Jeff's is to galvanize support for a California Steelhead Society, an organization that will promote steelhead, salmon and coastal river conservation through education, awareness and appreciation campaigns directed to Californians of all ages and backgrounds.
