Wild Steelhead Vol 1&2 Set

The Lure and Lore of a Pacific Northwest Icon

Slipcased set chronicles decades of the swashbuckling fishing adventures, from wilderness rivers in Alaska and British Columbia (with more than a few harrowing bear encounters), to familiar home waters in California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

Although not a how-to instructional guide, there is plenty of hard-won wisdom and advice here, both from Sean Gallagher himself and from the baker's dozen anglers he invites to share their memorable stories "around the campfire" about steelhead caught and steelhead lost. Collectively, these experienced anglers have waded Pacific Northwest rivers for nearly a millennium. Their stories weave a priceless tapestry of extraordinary sport and special places. It is a book to cover slowly, with patience and care, preferably accompanied by a good single malt. 1,000+ color photos and illus; 8.5x11 inches, 673 Pgs.
