Spinner Magic

I've had the pleasure of spending several days astream with Jim Bedford, and each time I have learned things that have made me a better angler. Having just finished Jim's new book, Spinner Magic, I feel a little like he and I just stepped out of a stream. As avid a trout, steelhead and salmon angler as I have ever met, Jim loves to share his decades of experience, and his book overflows both with passion and with practical information that assumes nothing and digs deep into every aspect of fishing weighted spinners.

As you read Spinner Magic, there's no doubt that it's the product of tens of thousands of hours in coldwater streams. The pages are packed with real-life examples and photos from Jim's own experience and with insights you simply don't come across any other way. If you've ever fished with someone in a favorite stream and seen the excitement as you approached his favorite hole in that river and he told of great fish that have come from that hole and laid out exactly how it needed to be approached, you have some sense of what it's like to read Spinner Magic.
