The Teeny Technique for Steelhead and Salmon

Rating:
Summary: Not Worth the Money
Review: I had also read many Teeny articles. I ignored the other two reviews and bought the book anyway, only to return it the day after I received it. It is a 1-2 hour read max. Gives very little info that is useful. I you didn't already know that you have to get your fly down to the steelhead, then this is the book for you. I have read many books on fly fishing, this is quite possibly the worst. The title should read, Beginners Guide to Your First Salmon or Steelhead.

Summary: Lacking in details
Review: I was really looking forward to this tome. However, a very limited introduction at best. Considering the price for a softcover, not worth the effort. I really have enjoyed Jim Teeny articles and etc. This effort would have been a lot better as a pocket book. I managed to read this book at one sitting and don't really feel that I learned much of anything new or useful.

Summary: Much ado about simple attention to detail
Review: There isn't really a Jim Teeny Technique, just a collection of tips. Get the fly down to the fish, use shot on the leader if allowed and required, note pocket water as best areas, don't spook the fish, flog any place that hold fish, watch for takes, don't fish with less than 8lb tippet (but had a good day using 4lb on the page before that). I'm sure Jim Teeny's reputation as a persistent and successful angler is true but this book is just a quick read.
