Kevin Feenstra’s New Book: Matching Warmwater Baitfish:
Soon after my previous book, Matching Baitfish, was written, I started working on another book. Though similar in some ways, it is geared toward totally different gamefish and some new genres of bait fishes. The book is called Matching Warmwater Baitfish. Here is a summary of the book:
Matching Warmwater Baitfish is 248 pages in length, and includes 330 images. If you enjoyed photography in the steelhead book, you should really like this book too. The book details the warm water predator fish, such as well know species such as smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, musky, and northern pike. It also covers overlooked species such as bowfin, gar, freshwater drum, and others.
After describing the predators, the book details quite a few baitfish species. In addition to baitfish, this book also covers other common large forms of prey, such as frogs and hellgrammites. Equipment and reading the water are also components of the book.
One of the strengths of the book is its fly tying section. There is a section of step by step patterns of my guide flies. These flies are straightforward guide flies that I use day to day in my guiding. This section is followed by a section of patterns by some of the guides and anglers that I have come to know. I have deep respect for these people and wanted to highlight their contributions to fly fishing for warm water fish. These include Russ Maddin, Ed McCoy, Mike Schultz, Matt Zudweg, and several others.
I hope that this book is something that anyone who wants to learn about baitfish in our warm water fisheries can enjoy. If you would like to purchase Matching Warmwater Baitfish, it will ship after February 25, and can be purchased here.
Here is a taste of some of the photos in the book, just use the arrows on the side to navigate:
Our guides spend a lot of time plying the waters for warm water species, and warm water guide trips are available through the spring, summer, and fall for smallmouth and largemouth bass and northern pike. To learn more about our guides, click here.
