Currier's book is a great place for beginning salt water fly fishers to start. He presents his subject in an easy to understand manner and backs up his words with well drawn diagrams. If you are planning your first trip to the salt, get this book now.

Exactly as advertized -- an easy and quick read which kept my interest from cover-to-cover. Well organized, with broad coverage and quality photos & illustrations. This book pushed me over the edge from thinking about flyfishing the salt to doing it!

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.

Whenever traveling to the salt this book has been a key ingredient to a successful trip! Whether filling you in on tides, knots, flies and gear this book allows you to seal the deal on what swims in the ocean. Although titled "Quick and Easy," this book is detail oriented enough to not only show you the fish but catch them! A valuable tool for any angler looking to step up to the multiple challenges of saltwater fishing!

Great quick read that hits the highlights that you need to know if you want to dive off into this great sport.

IMHO, this book is too expensive for the content. The author writes with enthusiasm, the drawings are good, and section on knots useful.The chapter on casting,however, may as well be summed up as "You can do it!". There is a void to be filled here, but I did not think this book did it.
