This review is from: Fly Fisherman's Guide to Saltwater Prey: How to Match Coastal Prey Fish and Invertebrates With the Fly Patterns That Imitate Them (Paperback)
This book is an excellent reference for the Mid Atlantic to tropical saltwater angler. The book is all in color and features clear pictures of the prey item and pictures of suggested flies to imitate these items. Dr. Adams has organized the prey by type (crabs etc.) and ecological region (Mid-Water Prey Fish). A word of warning, this book is not for the beginning saltwater fly tyer. There are excellent pictures of suggested flies and their recipes but there is little in the way of tying instructions. You will need to acquire the basics of fly tying somewhere else. A super reference book for the salt-water fly fisherman!

Great,

I wish there had been a book like this for saltwater flytiers when I was getting started. If you are just getting started, experienced, or just really curious about all the different things that our great shallow water gamefish eat and how to imitate them, check this one out.

Saltwater Prey,
By Mary (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly Fisherman's Guide to Saltwater Prey: How to Match Coastal Prey Fish and Invertebrates With the Fly Patterns That Imitate Them (Paperback)
Does a great job giving different selection of fly patterns to represent the same prey fish and Invertebrates.
My favorites are the ones for killfish. Here in Texas we use killfish to catch the "Big Three": trout, flounder and redfish.
