Testimonials by John Randolph, Ed Shenk, Dick Pobst, Dave Hughes

STEELHEAD- a look into the introspective selective mind of 'the fish of a thousand casts'- strong focus on west coast steelheading and steelhead specific behavior when taking flies:swinging/dries/nymphs and holding lie  applications- stunning photography from the Babine to the Dean, to the Great Lakes- featuring some of the worlds top steelheaders - testimonials from Trey Combs and Bill McMillan- stunning images from California's Jeff Bright and the author.

ATLANTIC SALMON- This complex and perplexing 50 million year old beast's psychology and behavior to the fly and its river lies receives an in depth look into the three selectivity stages this fish frequents constantly.. The author's use of Freudian theory and applications to the extreme mood and behavioral stages of salmo salar when confronted with the fly and river migration is an exciting and thought provoking look at these noble 'fish of kings'. Along with the insight and contributions of world famous Ichthyologist- Dr. Bror Jonsson from Norwary- author of  the epic bible on the subject, 'Ecology of Atlantic Salmon and Brown Trout'( Springer University Press), there is never a dull moment when measuring up all the insurmountable difficulty in tactics, presentation and fly selection that the ' Leaper' presents.
Atlantic and Landlocked Salmon  salmon rivers from the Gaspe of Quebec, to Scotland, Scandinavia, Iceland and Russia all are given a strong analysis from the author's journeys and   some of the top Atlantic fly fishers in the world. Stunning images from Arni Baldursson- LAX-A , Hakan Stenlund and the author to mention just a few.
