Side-drifting, or free drifting, is one of the most popular and productive ways to hook steelhead and salmon from either a drift boat or jet sled. Side-Drifting for Steelhead will show you exactly how to do it, with incredible footage (including underwater shots) detailing the techniques and showcasing the West’s most scenic waterways. Nick Amato, Mike Perusse and Travis Price, some of the best side-drifters in the Northwest, discuss how to properly position your boat, boat speed, tackle and terminal gear, baits, river etiquette, proper presentation, how to fight large fish, and more.

Tying Classic Wet Flies by Don Bastian

Don Bastian (Cogan Station, PA), (570)998-2481, dbastian@chilitech.net, $20.
Traditional wet flies ruled the waters for most of fly-fishing history. In early America they were used for brook trout and grayling, then later for browns and rainbows. Though these beautiful patterns are still very effective, tying and fishing them has fallen out of fashion. Don Bastian’s Tying Classic Wet Flies is devoted exclusively to these historic patterns and techniques, and his 40 years of fly-tying experience is evident in this well-organized and easy to follow DVD, which runs for almost two hours.
