Skeena Steelhead
By R.S. Hooton
by Ann R. Miller
Skeena Steelhead is the story of one of the
world’s premiere freshwater game fish.
You won’t find tales of heroic struggles
with world-record summer steelhead.
Instead you’ll see the events that have
conspired to imperil an internationally
renowned treasure.
The story begins with the Skeena
steelhead biology and life history. First
Nations fisheries are studied. Commercial
fisheries that began 135 years ago are described in detail, showing their
cumulative impact on homeward-bound Skeena steelhead. This tragic
story could only be told by someone firmly entrenched in the river’s
fisheries management community. Before his retirement, Bob Hooton
was in charge of steelhead management on the Skeena and continues to
be an inspirational defender of the Skeena’s steelhead.
The situation is not hopeless, the Skeena’s remarkable
steelhead runs can be restored. In Skeena Steelhead Bob Hooton shows
us how we can and, more importantly, why we must. 9 x 12 inches, 160

In the user-friendly format of
the series, Miller discusses the
naturals and their behaviors
then provides matching fly
patterns and fishing techniques
on the opposite page.
Fly tying is a combination
of art and science; fly tiers
understand the biology and
behavior of an insect, and then
imitate it artistically. Color,
size, silhouette, and behavior
of an artificial are essential,
which is why it’s important to have some knowledge of the
local insects. Mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, lesser insects, and
crustaceans of the upper Midwest are covered in this book.
Learning to identify insects can be daunting for
anyone, but doing so will pay off for you with more fish.

Get Started Fly-Fishing!
By Craig Schuhmann
Babine
by Pierce Clegg & Peter McMullan
Rivers are sacred and none more so than those
that have the holy trinity of salmon, grizzly
bears and steelhead. This book, a collection of
tales on fishing, companionship and the power
of dreams, is about one of those special rivers.
Because of the hard work of some of those
whose writing appears in this book, a narrow
corridor of forest shelters the Babine. As it
flows between those green, cathedral walls,
carrying the salmon and steelhead back to
their natal waters and giving tantalizing life to
the flies cast by fishermen, the river seems a
blessed, protected place.
The Babine, and the lodge that gave generations of anglers access to the sacred waters,
come to life in these pages. There are some
great fishing stories, but this is far more than
a book about fishing. It’s a book about what’s
important in life. It’s a book about a beautiful,
wild river and the dream that it can be saved as
it is, forever.
The economic forces aligned against the
Babine are great. Are the hearts of those who
love the river greater? After turning these
pages, I think you’ll see that they are.
ISBN 13: 978-1-57188-473-2 This is a sacred river and it cannot be lost.
UPC: 0-81127-00315-0
It can be saved, but only if enough
people care.
—Mark Hume, from the Foreword
All author royalties will be donated to the
Babine Watershed Monitoring Trust. 9 x 12
inches, 192 pages, all-color.
With graceful casts, leaping trout, and
beautiful scenery, fly-fishing is a relaxing way
to spend the day—if you know what you’re
doing! If not, it can be a frustrating day of
twisted lines and no fish. If you’d prefer the
relaxing day, then Get Started Fly-Fishing! will
help you develop a clear understanding of the
fundamentals of fly-fishing and catching trout
on a fly rod.
Fly-fishing is a very complex and
intimidating sport, and Schuhmann breaks
it down to easy-to-understand sections on:
trout; fishing presentations; fly-fishing gear;
knots and riggings; fly-casting fundamentals;
trout food and fly patterns; reading water;
and many other useful tips. In addition to
teaching the basics, this book also gives
recommendations for developing the more
nuanced approaches required for specific
rivers and conditions. The author has
introduced hundreds of anglers to the sport
using the principles in this book—and they
will work for you too. 8 1/2 x 11, 112 pages,

Saltwater Flies of the
Southeast & Gulf Coast
by Angelo Peluso
This book is the perfect combination of art
and practicality. Gorgeous Gyotaku prints
highlight the artistry in the fly photography,
making the book as beautiful as it is
informative.
The year-round fly-fishing opportunities
in the flats, inshore, and off-shore waters
of the Southeast and Gulf Coast are worldclass. As are the numerous game fish you
will encounter: bonefish, tarpon, permit,
pompano, sailfish and sharks, to name just a
few. That’s a lot of water types and a lot of
fish species, so where do you start? After years
of research, Peluso has compiled the go-to
flies from guides, captains, fly shop owners,
local club members, avid anglers . . . in short,
the experts in Southeast and Gulf Coast
waters. The flies in this book are proven
fish-catchers from the people whose jobs
depend on your successful Southeast fishing
adventure! Hundreds of patterns are shared,
as well as techniques and tips for using them,
that will give you the upper hand on these
wily and wary opponents. 8 1/2 x 11 inches,
160 pages, all-color.

Tandem Streamers
by Donald A. Wilson
Streamers are incredibly effective on salmon
and trout, but when trolling for these fish
nothing beats a tandem streamer. A long-time
Northeast favorite, the history of tandem—or
double-hook—streamers is fascinating. Don
Wilson has written the first book on the
subject, and it is extensive: dressing tandems;
trolling techniques; important people in
their development and use; and hundreds of
streamer patterns. With hundreds of fly plates
and historical photos, Tandem Streamers is as
visually intriguing as it is informative. If you
like trolling for salmon and trout, you gotta
try Tandem Streamers! 8 1/2 x 11 inches,

May the Rivers Never Sleep
by Bill & John McMillan
Bill and John McMillan share a view of rivers,
salmon, steelhead, and the Pacific Northwest.
The father and son have found a common
bond in rivers, and this bond is clearly reflected
in their writing and photography. Few people
are so enamored with the life and history of
rivers and salmon.
The essence of May the Rivers Never
Sleep is the physical and biological tapestry
of river time—month by month, a concept
fostered by Roderick Haig-Brown. Wellrespected anglers in their own right, Bill and
John have spent thousands of hours viewing
rivers and fish, above and below water. Their
revelations from snorkeling in rivers have led
to its spread as a tool of science to protect
fish, rivers, and related wildlife. The essays
and gorgeous photographs in this book reflect
Bill and John’s lives largely spent on rivers as
anglers, naturalists, and scientists—men struck
by the wonder of the life of rivers. Pick up this
book and be transported to the lush rivers of
the Pacific Northwest—anytime, anywhere.

Leaves from a Steelheader's Diary
by John Alevras, Illustrated by Eldridge Hardie
“John’s book faithfully documents the realities of fly-fishing for steelhead, the good days, the bad days, the
joys of small personal victories, the sadness of failures, the irritation of rivers in spate, and the joys of being
in the places where steelhead fly-fishing takes you.
“If you are addicted to steelhead fly-fishing, as am I, then, when you read this book you will feel much
like a skid row derelict warming up to the whispered lies of cheap wine or an alcoholic turned loose in a
distillery. Such is the charm of this book.
“In short this is a book that can be picked-up and put-down at will. However, if you are like me you
will have difficulty putting it down.”

Productive Trout Flies for Unorthodox Trout Prey
by Jeff Morgan
This book explores the concept of “oddball” trout prey—which includes most of the important North
American trout foods, minus the conventional “trout bugs”: mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies. Anglers
are familiar with most of the oddballs—grasshoppers, Chironomids, damselflies—however they have
not been the subject of any full-length angling/entomological evaluation until now. Other oddballs
include: baitfish, dragonflies, crayfish, leeches, sow bugs, terrestrials, etc.; all of them are prey that
have consistently proven themselves important to fishermen. Morgan’s in-depth information on these
often overlooked food types will have you rethinking your tying and fishing, and Arlen Thomason’s
spectacular realistic photographs will get your heart rate pounding.

A Woman Alone
Mona Bell, Sam Hill and the Mansion on Bonneville Rock
by John A. Harrison
Living alone in the woods of northern Minnesota, Mona Bell
once amazed a neighbor by shooting a dozen clothespins off
a line at 25 yards, firing revolvers from both hands in rapid
succession. Her reclusive life in Minnesota was stark contrast
to her earlier life in Oregon where she had a public role in battling the federal government after the Army commandeered
her hilltop mansion and acreage in the Columbia River Gorge
to build Bonneville Dam.
Mona’s mansion 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon, was
built in 1928 as a gift from her lover, the flamboyant entrepreneur Sam Hill,
whose lasting works include the Maryhill Museum and the Columbia River Highway.
Three years later Sam, 33 years Mona’s senior, was dead. The government condemned the mansion she
loved, offering compensation Mona would deride as a pittance. She battled the government in federal court
with a former Oregon governor as her attorney and the current governor as a witness. 6 x 9 inches, 139 b/w

Salmon Fever: River’s End
Tragedies on the Lower Columbia River in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s
by Lissa Penner
The Columbia River is as dangerous as it is magnificent. How dangerous was it to
work and play on the river in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s? No radios, helicopters or
boats of the modern Coast Guard rescued the man who was thrown overboard in the
1800s. Few survived. Heavy clothing, quickly water-soaked, pulled the victims under
the surface before anyone nearby could help. Salmon Fever is a collection of historical
articles from Astoria, Oregon newspapers that reveal a frightening past on this famously
treacherous river.
