    Fly fishing Pioneers & Legends of the Northwest is more than steelhead fishing but interesting. Another book that I enjoyed is Steelhead Fly Fishing Nez Perce Country by Dan Landeen great book if you are at all interested in fishing the Snake, Clearwater or Grande Ronde.
    Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.

    Be sure to watch the video "Rivers of a Lost Coast"......

    Our steelhead and salmon fisheries, rivers large and small, were lost over the last 100 years by dams, logging, developement and AG.

    They are finally removing some dams now so that is positive.....

    is it really worth $200 + ?
    Steelhead gear = $6287, no of adults caught = 3, amortized cost = $2,095.67, beaching that 30" fish and letting it go = priceless
