"The Snake River drains many of the most famous steelhead fly-fishing streams in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, such as the main stem Snake, Clearwater, Salmon, Imnaha, and Grande Ronde. This book includes many of the best anglers (and legends such as Jim and Carol Green, Bill Nelson, Ted Trueblood, Tom Morgan, and Keith Stonebraker, and others) from the beginnings of steelhead fly-fishing in the last century to the present time. Many of the people interviewed for this book speak in their own words in endearing colloquial English! This book is the equivalent of the Sacrament of Confirmation for steelhead fly anglers. Each year, 150,000 to 250,000 summer steelhead return to the holy waters of these river systems. Dan Landeen has created a wonderful STEELHEADER'S book!" - Frank Amato
