Excellent! I am going on my first saltwater fly fishing trip this March and I wanted to tie some flies for bonefish. This book has some easy to follow patterns (in color) plus, as an added bonus, a fly tying short course at the beginning. This book is a must for anyone interested in saltwater fly fishing.
