Technical Fishing Bulletins

Tech Bulletins specifically address a certain body of water, be it an ocean , a lake, river or impoundment. They are Luhr Jensen's way of telling you how to get there, where you can stay, what lures in what finishes to use during which season of the year and special techniques to use to be most successful. They are written by experts, familiar to the specific area described, so the information provided is accurate and useful to anyone who wants to fish in that particular body of water. There are more than 55 Tech Bulletins available from Luhr Jensen & Sons.

Here you will find some of the many "Tech Bulletins" that Luhr Jensen & Sons publish. They are in .pdf format for printing or downloading. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read these .pdf files.
