Description
This comprehensive book goes way beyond the basics of drift-fishing techniques to include marine biology, ichthyology, meteorology, and physics as they apply to fish and fishing. Timothy Kusherets has spent decades on research and fieldwork–examining concepts and challenging misconceptions–to create a book that is truly of value to both expert and first-time drift-fishermen. This book covers: species identification and anatomy; different drifting styles and techniques; spotting fish and deciphering fish movement; catching fish when others are getting skunked; performing year-round reconnaissance visits on your home waters; when to fish and what to look for at the river; set-ups and their unique components; reading water; understanding fish and the pressures they experience; gear; save hundreds of dollars on fishing tackle; how to safely release a fish; using the Internet; filleting your catch; extensive glossary; and much more. The unique, yet down-to-earth advice in this book will change your approach to drift-fishing for steelhead and salmon–and it will bring more fish to your line!
