Drift Boat Strategies: Rowing & Fishing Skills for the Western Angler

Rating:
Summary: Excellent "How To" overview for drifters
Review: Neale Streeks and Rod Walinchus have crafted an excellent book with clear and concise descriptions of water types and the required strategies to successfully negotiate that type of water. I found the overview of methods to maximize fishing opportunies while drifting to be helpful as well. I did not have much use for the sections relating to rafting but I did find the vast majority of the book very interesting and insightful.

Summary: Good balance of rowing and fishing skills for the newcomer
Review: We know a bit about fly fishing but not much about rowing a driftboat. This book provides clear text and diagrams for reading the water and safely manuevering through difficult situations. It also gives good info on how to select a boat, which seems like a moot point if you are buying this book, but is interesting nonetheless. The trip checklist at the end of the book is very useful. Highly Recommended
