A must own
An in depth, informative and fun DVD for anyone to enjoy. Whether it be a seasoned angler, or someone just starting out in the sport. Feenstra's DVD offers a practical, and realistic approach to Great Lakes steel-heading, offers some beautiful fly recipes and a great slide show too! Well worth adding to the collection, especially being a steelheader in the mid-west.

Mini-guide trip
This video is definately worth the investment. Visually, the camerawork captures good fishing and landing. The narration is a VERY big part of this DVDs value benefit. So much so that it reminded me of being on a guided trip, and hearing those littletips/commentary over your shoulder as you fish throughout the day. But at the end, you realize that your steelhead IQ? --just took a big leap forward. The fly patterns demonstrated are great; disproving that you must be a zen master at the vice with exotic, expensive, biologically-matching materials. NOT SO! Kevin puts to rest some misconceptions that could be barriers to someone wanting to try swinging flies. Even after quite a few years of swinging, I still got good content from it. Where fish hold at what times of year is extremetly important to the angler who is new to a river and stares at it saying "ok, NOW what do I do?" For someone dabbling in swinging techniques, or especially the beginner, it is a very good way to learn the where, when, and "with what" to help you get into fish.
