Overview

Fishing pressure on the popular western waters is at an all-time high and to be able to have a successful day on the water, anglers have had to adjust their strategies, tactics, and equipment. In this book, Nick Conklin and Collins Illich share their vast experience fishing the West (and bring in techniques from their experience fishing other areas around the country) and teach readers more advanced level techniques and approaches to become more proficient on highly trafficked waters chasing PhD level fish. While the emphasis is western US waters, the techniques can be applied to any angler's local water. The key here is addressing the rise in angling pressure and how to overcome common ideas and obstacles to become a more effective angler.
