For books there are many! Steelhead drift fishing by Bill Luch is basic and easy to follow. Steelhead Savy by Jim Bedford isnt bad either. But I think the best way is to get right in the middle of the action and watch the people who are consistantly hooking up. This will entail fishing in those places were the term "battle fishing" derived. Blue creek, Elochoman, Shafer creek, Bogy and Calawah ponds and Reiter on the Sky. Places were you will never find me. But you will get to fish with alot, and I mean alot of people, some are jerks, but most try to work together. And a few are really knowledgable. Also try a guide, some are great teachers, but remember that you want to learn to bank fish for now so tell them your not interested in Plugging all day. Tell them you want to cast and drift fish or float fish. Tell them that even though you may not get the hook ups you would plugging, you dont care because you want to learn. Maybe you do care but for approx. $250.00 you and your daughter can learn years worth of techniques and even learn some secreats to the particular river that they fish. Then you can go and venture on your own and end up buying a driftboat and $10,000 worth of Loomis rods. You'll need a new one ton pickup for all your gear your buying and then you and your daughter will be seasoned anglers. Just kidding about the last part!

See ya on the river...The guy who runs this site could probably hook you up with a good teacher, if your real lucky you'll get a trip with him, but he's usaully pretty booked up.

Always be nice to your fellow fisherpersons!!!
