This review is from: Fly-Fishing the Florida Keys: The Guide's Guide (Paperback)
This is a fine publication, well put together & illustrated however, if you are looking for information about FLY FISHING TACKLE & TECHNIQUES in the Florida keys, this is not going to provide it. This book recommends & gives reviews for loging, mostly hi-end, guides, etc. It is a guide book for the well heeled, not a fly fishing info provider.

Somewhat Useful,
By El Comandante (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fly-Fishing the Florida Keys: The Guide's Guide (Paperback)
This book provides a bit of information on Florida Keys fish species, fly fishing knots and flies, but mostly it stresses how difficult saltwater fly fishing is and why you should shell out hundreds of dollars a day on a local guide rather than go about it on your own. You will find biographies on some of the most famous Keys guides, extolling their skill and reputation as if their faces belong on Mount Rushmore. Recommendations on tackle and equipment, of course, urge you to buy only the most expensive gear because salt water fly fishing is second only to brain surgery and rocket science in difficulty. This book reinforces the common perception that fly fishing is a pastime for rich, elitist snobs and far beyond the capabilities of the rest of us.
