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.

Great book to see different styles of Fly's. Give's the tyer a look at fly's they can copy from some of the best tyer's in the business!
Great pictures & HOW TO TIPS!Step by Step Instructions to help the beginner to the advanced Trier! Nice book at a great price!

Great book to have if you love to tie flies, book gives you the information to tie great looking saltwater flies. I have had a lot of fun tying many of the flie.

This is a very useful work which illustrates on a step-by-step basis the tying techniques and materials needed to create the core patterns of modern saltwater flies. All fly tyers, no matter their level of sophistication, would be well served to keep this volume within arms reach of their tying bench.

I have been tying flies for about 40 something years. I tied everything But Saltwater flies. Recently had a friend retire to Bonita Springs, Fla.who bought a boat and fishes everyday of the year. He invited me to go down there last year and now I am hooked on Saltwater fishing. I bought this book to learn how to tie various patterns.I also bought several other books on the subject. This is the Best How-To book out there. It even covers weed guards.

Once you learn the basic types in this book, you can let your imagination take over. I was really impressed with the detail of the step by step instructions. I have taught fly tying for several years, and I feel qualified to judge good basic instructional techniques. This book has it!!!!!Kudos to the authors!!

There's a lot to like about Ed Jaworowski's Essential Saltwater Flies. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 provide brief but excellent overviews of theory, materials and techniques--stuff you'll need to understand (and get your hands on) if you're new to this. After that, he gives the reader step-by-step instructions--accompanied by exceptionally clear photos--of 37 flies that will cover a wide variety of saltwater species. Some anglers might find it a weakness that the book specifically discusses only east coast species, but these patterns are proven on either side of the continent and around the world. Lots of tips, suggestions and photos, too, to help tiers modify many of these flies, and Jaworowski even includes tips on how to fish these patterns.

I just got into tying my own flies,this book is alot help,great instructions,and good pictures,I recommend it to anyone who is into tying flies....fish on!
