 A masterful work |
| Review Date: December 19, 2002 |
| Reviewer: Thomas E. Stiver, Elkhart, IN |
| This is a "must have" for any Great Lakes Basin Steelhead Fly Fisher. Written from One who has been faced with "4th & goal" and has made the conversion. Matt's underlying theme is that each and every one of us Great Lakes' Steelheaders MUST realize that we have to take care to preserve this awesome privilege that we enjoy. Matt shows how and why the traditional West Coast Methods are very limited in the Great Lakes Basin. He does, indeed cover everything you'll need to know and do to become a more proficient fly fishing steelheader...I promise. |
Steelhead Dreams - Review

| Review Date: May 23, 2002 |
| Reviewer: Hal Eckert, Chicago, Illinois |
| I have been an eastern and great lakes trout and salmon fly fisher for 42 years and fished many of the great lakes rivers for steelhead the last 22 years with the fly rod. Steelhead Dreams presents a wonderful description of the immense steelhead fly fishing opportunities through outthe great lakes states and canada. The history of the fishery, comparisons to the PNW steelhead fishery, tackle, techniques, rivers, and how to approach the four seasons of steelhead fly fishing are discussed in detail to aid both new anglers and more experienced steelhead fly fishers. Matt obviously has a great love for steelhead, fly fishing, and the great lakes fishery. Excellent color pictures of the rivers, fish, tackle, and flies are provided. All great lakes and PNW steelhead anglers will benefit in increased knowledge of this fishery to enhance their angling experience. I learned some new things from Matt which will be applied this year. This is the best indepth book on great lakes steelhead fly fishing I have seen to date. I look forward to more books from Matt on the great lakes fishery. |

| Reviewer: L. Ricks, Houghton, MI |
| This book is truly a masterpiece. The tips and techniques that one can glean from this work are indespensable. If you consider yourself to be an advanced steelheader, than you will, if nothing else, appreciate the fantastic photographs. I do not suggest this book as a bed-time reader however, as the pictures will more than likely make you too excided to sleep (no joke!). |

Dreaming about Steelhead

| Review Date: June 22, 2002 |
| Reviewer: Jacqueline M. Lum, North Olmsted, Ohio |
| Steelhead Dreams ranks up there as one the best books about the Great Lakes steelhead fishery. Author Matt Supinski is considered one of the top Great Lakes steelhead guru. In this book he shares decades of knowledge and experience. The book has chapters on mastering the rivers, different times of year, presentations and the top Great Lakes rivers. Steelhead Dreams is a very easy book to follow and understand. This book also has the best fly recipe section I've seen in any book. There are plenty of color plates of popular nymph, egg, and streamer flies. This is an excellent book for the angler deciding to get into steelheading. |

| If you are a Great Lakes steelhead junkie, then read this book. It features some excellent fly patterns, description of techniques and tackle, and much more. A great read! |
Decent information presented with incredible overuse of adjectives...

| Reviewer: Steve A. Sosa, Memphis, TN |
I may be flying in the face of other reviews of this book, but I found Mr. Supinski's language to be overly cumbersome and flowery to the point of being unreadable. I am an experienced West coast Steelhead and Salmon angler that has found himself transplanted on other side of the Mississippi. I was looking for a useful guide to the Steelheading opportunities in the Great Lakes region. What I got was a book that I can stand reading for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.
I'm an avid acquirer of fishing books, and all I can say is this: fly-fishing literature is overrun with writers who try to "out-pretty" each other's prose (I once counted the use of the word "elegant" 6 times in one short paragraph). While I appreciate the sentiment and find Steelhead and Steelhead fishing to be a beautiful experience at times, I'd prefer a much more straightforward and economical linguistic approach to a guidebook than that offered by this one.
Seriously man, there are dozens, if not hundreds of fly fishing tomes out there written with the saccharine enthusiasm of a Shakespearean sonnet -next time, I'd love it if you'd stand out from the crowd by displaying your obvious fishing expertise with a little (actually, a lot) more economy of phrase... |
