Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

If you've thought about going after bonefish, tarpon, permit, and other saltwater species with a fly rod, Jeff Currier's introduction might get you out there faster. Designed to demystify a sport that can have even serious freshwater anglers wondering where to start, Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing explains the basics of tackle, tides, and casting. Other chapters cover the common saltwater species one is most likely to encounter and how to safely handle such encounters. Color photos, drawings, and even useful Internet addresses complement the straightforward, no-nonsense text.


From Library Journal

Most fishing guidebooks are written like the directions for a VCR, clinical and virtually impossible to understand. Currier's book about saltwater fishing is delightfully different. Tackle, knots, flies, and the importance of tides are all covered with enthusiasm and even some humor. More to the point, Currier, who runs a Wyoming fly-fishing shop but also guides saltwater expeditions in winter, reminds us why we'd want to catch these fish in the first place. Bonefish, tarpon, and barracuda are beautiful and give a terrific fight. Snapper, mackerel, dolphin (the fish, not Flipper), and tuna are great sport and, more important, delicious. High-quality photos include examples of gamefish, tackle, and the crystalline waters of salt flats. Readers lacking a full complement of willpower might just find themselves calling a travel agent, pulling on waders, and casting for dinner.

By A Customer
Currier's book is a great place for beginning salt water fly fishers to start. He presents his subject in an easy to understand manner and backs up his words with well drawn diagrams. If you are planning your first trip to the salt, get this book now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ready to go!, June 11, 2001
By A Customer
Exactly as advertized -- an easy and quick read which kept my interest from cover-to-cover. Well organized, with broad coverage and quality photos & illustrations. This book pushed me over the edge from thinking about flyfishing the salt to doing it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much more than a pamphlet, May 27, 2001
By A Customer
IMHO, this book is too expensive for the content. The author writes with enthusiasm, the drawings are good, and section on knots useful.The chapter on casting,however, may as well be summed up as "You can do it!". There is a void to be filled here, but I did not think this book did it.
