5.0 out of 5 stars Ray tells all, February 17, 2000

By A Customer

Ray's book is my favorite on fly fishing for stripers. He keeps it simple, yet includes all the essential info that will get fish on your line. I can think of a couple of pricier hardcovers that take a lot more pages to go over the same info that Ray lays out in a much simpler and more homespun fashion. And despite a prior reviewer's opinion on the patterns included, any self-respecting Northeast saltwater flyfisher knows that the Ray's Fly is a classic along the New England shore. A must for any striper angler's bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars great...and simple book, March 31, 2000

By	Tom D (boston) - See all my reviews

this is a very readable, informative book. Ray cuts to the chase. the only reason i gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars is because I think his fly choices are too self-serving... no clouser or deceiver type paterns(come on!) but the flies he does have are great ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars The art of saltwater flyfishing at its best!, April 10, 1999

By A Customer

When I thought that I knew just about all that there was to know after fishingthe northeast coast for 20+ years,along comes Ray's book and I realize there is so much more information that I didn'teven think about.This book is well laid out,precise in its topics and very easy to read.I find myself referring to it'svarious sectons time an again whether I am tying flies or looking for an edge when fishing any new section of the Northeast coast.Everything that thefisher needs to know is in this book in a concise form.His section on waves is absolutely brilliant. I will never look at a wave the same way again.
