Book Description

June 12, 2001
The sport of saltwater fly fishing continues to grow with each passing year, the challenge and fun had hooking these large, strong, and fast species is just too irresistible to most fly-fishers. The challenge goes beyond just hooking these great fish: many wonder, •where in the sea do I find these fish •what do they eat •which flies are most productive •which techniques are most productive •what tackle do I use •what time of year is best to plan a trip to a particular destination •what species will I encounter •how do I find the hotspots in unfamiliar waters •how do I find a local guide, restaurant, shop, rentals •and much more.

Forty-three hot destinations for all saltwater species in the Northeast, Atlantic States, Florida, and the Gulf States are covered. Each destination is handled by a top guide in that area that answers the above questions, as well as providing a list of other area guides, fly shops, and charts for game fish, prey, and fly patterns. That way you are sure to get extremely accurate information from those people who know the fisheries best. Don Phillips gathered this vast amount of information into one book, Saltwater Fly-Fishing: From Maine to Texas. Regardless of your skill level or experience, with all the information provided within these pages, you are sure to create the perfect saltwater trip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodies from the guides, July 29, 2001
By 
Karssies M. (Enschede, Overijssel Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This book reminds of a sortlike book written by guide John Kumiski called "Flyfishing Florida salt". Various flyfishing locations from New England to Texas are listed in this book.

Each location has a separate chapter with an interview with the local guide about the fish, the flies and the tactics to use at that particular spot. Each chapter has tables which give you an indication when the best times for fishing for a particular species is and which flies the most effective ones are.

Although the chapters are relatively short they should give the visiting angler a pretty accurate indication of what he can expect at that location and what kind of gear he has to use. All of the flypatterns used by the guides are listed in the book but unfortunately only a few are pictured. There are several black and white photographs in this book as well as a few pages with colorphoto's by the guides. The quality of some of these pictures are not up the standard that I have seen in other books. Well, they are taken by guides so you really can't complain over that.

I guess the intention of this book was to cover the fishinglocations of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts very roughly. It is therefore very suitable to give you a broad idea of what the fishing is in all these places.

For really in-depth local information you will still have to get one of the local guidebooks for your next saltwater flyfishingtrip. Having said all this I must say that it is a very good book with a wealth of information that should be owned by everyone who likes to flyfish in saltwater.
