Editorial Reviews

Review

A book that's not only pleasing to read, but also pleasing to own. -- Fly Fishing in Salt Waters Magazine

A combination of humor, whimsy, history, speculation and some genuinely great fishing stories... -- Salt Water Fly Fishing Magazine

It's a rare fishing book these days that leaves you wanting more, but Tosh Brown's Megalops fits the bill nicely. -- Gray's Sporting Journal


Product Description

From Key West to Belize to Venezuela, Tosh Brown's career as a sporting travel agent allowed him to passionately pursue this big-eyed behemoth of the Atlantic. This is his insightful and humorous account of more than a decade chasing the Silver King with a fly rod, adding some heartfelt commentary and discussion, as well as a storied history of the tarpon fishery along his native Texas coast. This new Meadow Run Press book is illustrated with a full-color section of the author’s stunning photographs along with never before seen photographs of some spectacular early tarpon fishing by some daring and adventurous fishermen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stories For Those Who Love Tarpon!, May 10, 2001
By A Customer
If you've ever hooked a tarpon on the fly, or hope to someday, you need to read this book. The author does a great job of detailing all of the strange quirks and bizzare behaviors of the Silver King, and he does it with humor, good dialect, and a keen observation of the tarpon and his habitat. A beautifully bound book with great photos, great stories...a quick and entertaining read for the fly fisherman!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Better Than Tarpon Fishing!, August 7, 2008
By B. Kelly (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was worth the read. It was less about how to catch at Tarpon and more about the joy and fun of Tarpon fishing. If you're looking to connect with other Tarpon fishermen or learn more about Tarpon fishing there's a cool new social network dedicated to Tarpon fishing. Check it out www.GetTarpon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars This one's not for the gear fisherman!, May 17, 2002
By A Customer
The reader from Arkansas below obviously missed the point of this book. Perhaps he was disappointed that Mr. Brown didn't include a chapter on how to fish for tarpon with dynamite?

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Read
This isn't a "how-to" book, by any stretch of the imagination. It is, however, a nice little read. I enjoyed the author's realization that there is far more to flyfishing for... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant departure from the norm!
