Steelhead Dreams - Review:
I have been an eastern and great lakes trout and salmon fly fisher for 42 years and fished many of the great lakes rivers for steelhead the last 22 years with the fly rod. Steelhead Dreams presents a wonderful description of the immense steelhead fly fishing opportunities through outthe great lakes states and canada. The history of the fishery, comparisons to the PNW steelhead fishery, tackle, techniques, rivers, and how to approach the four seasons of steelhead fly fishing are discussed in detail to aid both new anglers and more experienced steelhead fly fishers. Matt obviously has a great love for steelhead, fly fishing, and the great lakes fishery. Excellent color pictures of the rivers, fish, tackle, and flies are provided. All great lakes and PNW steelhead anglers will benefit in increased knowledge of this fishery to enhance their angling experience. I learned some new things from Matt which will be applied this year. This is the best indepth book on great lakes steelhead fly fishing I have seen to date. I look forward to more books from Matt on the great lakes fishery.

Dreaming about Steelhead:
Steelhead Dreams ranks up there as one the best books about the Great Lakes steelhead fishery. Author Matt Supinski is considered one of the top Great Lakes steelhead guru. In this book he shares decades of knowledge and experience. The book has chapters on mastering the rivers, different times of year, presentations and the top Great Lakes rivers. Steelhead Dreams is a very easy book to follow and understand. This book also has the best fly recipe section I've seen in any book. There are plenty of color plates of popular nymph, egg, and streamer flies. This is an excellent book for the angler deciding to get into steelheading.

A new, insightful look at Great Lakes steelhead flyfishing!:
If you are a Great Lakes steelhead junkie, then read this book. It features some excellent fly patterns, description of techniques and tackle, and much more. A great read!

A masterful work:
This is a "must have" for any Great Lakes Basin Steelhead Fly Fisher. Written from One who has been faced with "4th & goal" and has made the conversion. Matt's underlying theme is that each and every one of us Great Lakes' Steelheaders MUST realize that we have to take care to preserve this awesome privilege that we enjoy. Matt shows how and why the traditional West Coast Methods are very limited in the Great Lakes Basin. He does, indeed cover everything you'll need to know and do to become a more proficient fly fishing steelheader...I promise.

A great all-encompassing Steelhead book:
This book is not only a joy to read, but contains a LOT of useful information on: > history of Great Lakes (GL) Steelhead fishery > fly fishing techniques & tackle specific to the GL and related to weather and water conditions and time of year > general GL steelheading locations in the USA > & much more The pictures are first class and will make you go out there on the spot to fullfill YOUR steelhead dreams, wether it's the middle of winter or early summer. I rate this book first class and it is one of the jewels in my fishing library that I pick up at least once a year when the Steelhead bug comes around. You cannot make a mistake purchasing this book...
