Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

If you've thought about going after bonefish, tarpon, permit, and other saltwater species with a fly rod, Jeff Currier's introduction might get you out there faster. Designed to demystify a sport that can have even serious freshwater anglers wondering where to start, Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing explains the basics of tackle, tides, and casting. Other chapters cover the common saltwater species one is most likely to encounter and how to safely handle such encounters. Color photos, drawings, and even useful Internet addresses complement the straightforward, no-nonsense text.

From Library Journal

Most fishing guidebooks are written like the directions for a VCR, clinical and virtually impossible to understand. Currier's book about saltwater fishing is delightfully different. Tackle, knots, flies, and the importance of tides are all covered with enthusiasm and even some humor. More to the point, Currier, who runs a Wyoming fly-fishing shop but also guides saltwater expeditions in winter, reminds us why we'd want to catch these fish in the first place. Bonefish, tarpon, and barracuda are beautiful and give a terrific fight. Snapper, mackerel, dolphin (the fish, not Flipper), and tuna are great sport and, more important, delicious. High-quality photos include examples of gamefish, tackle, and the crystalline waters of salt flats. Readers lacking a full complement of willpower might just find themselves calling a travel agent, pulling on waders, and casting for dinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars informative and impressive, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing (Paperback)
Jeff Currier's introductory book to Saltwater Fly Fishing is a complete, concise reference for all fly fisherman and a wonderful guide for novices. The book will be extremely beneficial to those anglers who have not had much opportunity to visit saltwater destinations, even if they are accomplished anglers in their freshwater backyards. The colored paintings of game fish, as well as the illustrations, are all done by the author himself and reveal Currier to be a multi-talented fisherman who has delivered an impressive piece of work. Very enjoyable book to read and study and a fine addition to any angler's library.
