[This book] is a guide to meeting that challenge. [For the inland flyfisherman] pounding waves and rip currents replace riffles and quiet pools. Poppers and seven-inch streamers replace delicate midges and nymphs. Churning water thick with hungry fish replaces a quick surface dimple as the sight the angler hopes to see. And a new quarry - big, aggressive stripers, blues, bonito, or little tunny - replaces the elusive trout."
