Driftboats, Steelhead and Flyfishing Books
This catalogue page has our recommended books on driftboats, river boats, Steelhead fishing, and flyfishing books.
Driftboats are a special type of fishing boat that was developed in the Pacific Northwest waters to navigate the fast flowing rivers to
fish for Steelhead, Salmon and other fish, and to enjoy the rivers. Now common on Pacific Northwest waters, driftboats have a long and
interesting history in their native Oregon.
The concept of drift boat fishing is not difficult, though many guides would have fishermen believe otherwise, which is one of the reasons
for these books.
Steelhead fisherman will find the books by Bill Herzog a very highly recommended guide and resource.
