Jimmy Jacobs (Author)

Book Description

Series: Backcountry Guides | Publication Date: October 15, 2000

A guide to the best saltwater fly-fishing along the popular southeast coast of America, from North Carolina's Outer Banks to the Florida Keys. An introductory chapter covers the species of fish commonly sought during different seasons, where they school, how they feed, and what gear to use to catch them. Further chapters provide advice on gear selection and saltwater flies, and explain how to fish the different types of inshore waters found along the southeast coast, from ocean inlets to tidal creeks to oystershell bars. The author concentrates on where good fishing is virtually guaranteed, access is easy, and the area is particularly scenic or uncrowded. He has made a special effort to include places that are accessible to wading or shore-bound anglers.
