Synopsis

Chasing the lightning-fast bonefish across the South Pacific, Florida and the Caribbean is for many anglers a near obsession, and this is the handbook to such a fly-fishing adventure. Author Dick Brown, a widely experienced bonefisher and fly tyer who writes for several angling journals, offers keen advice for successful bonefishing, utilising both his own insights and those of other experts, including Lefty Kreh, Ben Estes, and Stu Apte. Brown and his cohorts help the reader spot, stalk, cast to and strike this most wily, challenging quarry. He also analyses the use of numerous flies, telling which patterns work best and when, and details superb bonefishing destinations with fully up-to-date information.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Praise for the previous edition "Dick Brown's bonefish book is superb! I've read it three times. Every fisherman ought to have this, not only the saltwater addict. This is one of the few fishing books that I've ever read that appears impossible to improve."--Gene Hill, author of Hill Country and Just Tailfeathers "Dick Brown's book is your American Express card to bonefishing--whether you're a novice planning your first trip or a veteran of the flats, you shouldn't leave home without it. The section on bonefish habits and behavior alone makes Fly Fishing for Bonefish an instant classic. The book fills a gaping hole onthe shelves of angling literature and is without question the definitive workon bonefish and how to catch them."--William Tapply, author of Home Water, Gone Fishin', and Nervous Water "The best and most comprehensive book about fly-rod bonefishing to date!"--Frank Woolner, former editor, Salt Water Sportsman Magazine, and author of Modern Saltwater Sport Fishing "This book is by far the best and most complete work on bonefish ever written. It covers every aspect of the sport, including the biology of Albula vulpes, innovative fly patterns, strategies on the flats, how to spot fish, fish the tides, and much, much more. Brown is an expert bonefish hunter and superb fly tyer. His extensive experience is augmented by that of dozens of other experts. This book is a must-read for beginners and experts alike!"--Carl Richards, co-author of Backcountry Fly Fishing in Salt Water, Fly Fishing Strategy, Prey, and Selective Trout
