Original Jacket Text
The Steelhead Trout is the first comprehensive, hardback book ever done on the steelhead. From egg, to ocean, to migration run up the river as an adult, Trey Combs writes informatively about all aspects of the steelhead: biological data, area of distribution on the Pacific Coast, times of migrations for both winter and summer steelhead, range in size, early discovery, fly fishing and fly patterns for them, drift fishing and development of tackle, etc. This book could have easily been titled "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Steelhead, But Didn’t Know Whom To Ask!"
