California Winter Steelhead book pre-orders
Thank you to everyone who has pre-order our new book - California Winter Steelhead, Life History and Fly Fishing. The response has been wonderful and almost 100 of the 500 copies that will be printed have been pre-ordered in just a few days. Surprisingly, many of the pre-orders are from fly anglers all over the US! We have reviewed the book proof and our printer is trying to complete and ship our order before mid-December. They indicate current issues may delay printing but we are hoping we will be able to ship books before Christmas if all goes well. Again, thanks to everyone who placed a pre-order at www.dennisplee.com
