You absolutely wont regret it. I was lucky enough to read the book and then go back to Sportco in WA while Bill was still there and he actually rigged up my 1st set of spoons. 25 fish in 3 weeks!
If there is room, do not pass up fishing at the bridge. Took all day, but I left with a 15 lb. B- run last Friday...Upriver is incredible at times, but rain is the missing link to trigger the fall fishing spike.
