This guidebook shows you how to understand steelhead and the rivers they live in so you can catch more fish.

Are you still struggling to catch steelhead? I get it! It can be so frustrating.

You spend a bunch of money on gear… you get up early, drive in the dark to the river, stand out in the rain for hours on end, freezing to death… and then you come home skunked... again.

Steelhead are known as the “Fish of 1,000 Casts”

Without a solid understanding of the fundamentals, it could take you that much time (or longer) to catch one. In addition to time invested, think about the money you've spent on rods, reels, line and terminal tackle – much of which may actually be hampering your efforts to catch steelhead.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

After two decades as a full time pro fishing guide and author, chasing steelhead across the US and Canada, I know exactly what it takes to catch them.

I’ve also fished with many of the best steelheaders on the planet and have personally taught thousands of clients techniques that help them catch fish on their own.

Captain JD Richey with Steelhead

I’ve assembled this lifetime of knowledge into one, easy to follow guidebook just for you.

With this guidebook, you’ll learn everything you need to become a successful steelheader – without having to spend years figuring it out on your own like I did.

It lays it all out in easy-to-follow steps and techniques.

What readers are saying:

“This is a GREAT book! I sure wish I had this when I was starting out fishing for steelhead.”

Buzz Ramsey: legendary angler, TV personality, tackle designer and author

“This book is awesome… WOW! Geez, there’s so much good info here! JD covers it all… Great job!”

Nick Amato: Editor: Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine

“Very impressive! The diagrams and photos are fantastic… and I’m very impressed with not only JD’s writing skills but also his willingness to share so much information. There’s an amazing amount of useful tips, techniques and tricks in here!”

Sep Hendrickson: Host, California Sportsman Radio Show

“No joke. I looked at one diagram from this book and hooked a steelhead a few hours later!

I’ve read countless articles, watched numerous videos, and nothing has helped me connect the dots on finding and fishing for steelhead more than this book.

Steelhead fishing has the reputation of being almost impossible for rookie anglers. This book presents all the info you need in such a digestible, and easily understood form it almost seems unfair.”

Matt Ferro: Rookie Steelheader

“I’ve fished my whole life but somehow Steelhead fishing had eluded me.

Last year a friend took me out and after a brief but exhilarating fight with a Michigan silver beauty, I was hooked.

I wanted to learn all I could and this book was a huge head start. I'm not much of a reader but this book had me flying through every page as fast as my mind could absorb it.

Thanks JD, I’m forever grateful.”
