From the Back Cover

Fly Fishing the Tidewaters is a colorful and often witty guide to the saltwater fly-fishing frontier that's right next door. Full color paintings of gamefish, and color plates of the most useful flies - plus color photos of the inshore and tidal waters - open the door to the shallow-water, fly-fishing wonderland along the Middle Atlantic southeastern seaboard, as well as fly-fishing options on the Gulf Coast and similar areas. This guide shows both the experienced angler and those just getting started how to use a fly rod for blues, striped bass, redfish, sea trout, bonito, mackerel, dolphin, and other saltwater gamefish. This is the first book to acknowledge that eastern and Gulf anglers can drive (not fly) to some of the best saltwater angling in the world. (8 1/4 x 11, 200 pages, color photos, b&w photos, diagrams)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Reading for New Salt Water Fly Fisherman, September 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fly Fishing the Tidewaters (Paperback)

Tommy's book is required reading if you are new to saltwater fly fishing. The book has allowed me to accelerate my learning curve and appreciate this fun and exciting sport. I found every recommendation of equipment and tackle to be right on the money and I have used everything I purchased at his suggestion. I have lived in the Carolinas for over 25 years but never discovered our vast flyfishing opportunities until reading this book. I wore out the binding on my hardback edition because I referred to it so often!
