Spinner Fishing for Steelhead, Salmon and Trout

Jed Davis

Third Edition

From the Introduction: "When Frank Amato and I discussed my idea, Spinner Fishing for Steelhead, Salmon and Trout back in 1983, we had no idea that it would become a best-selling book. Spinner fishing for steelhead is a very specialized topic. But also, one must remember that in 1982, the year I began writing this book, serious spinner fishing for steelhead was virtually nonexistent in the Pacific Northwest and practiced by relatively few anglers in the Great Lakes. How things have changed! Spinner fishing for steelhead is now commonplace. What's more, it is the fastest growing steelhead technique nationwide, attracting novices as well as converts from more traditional methods." - Jed Davis

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.

Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma

Seriously, all the hooks sold on TenkaraBum.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or incorporated into flies, are dangerously sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on TenkaraBum.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
