This is a book that recognises that it is the techniques, species or sites alone that attract millions to the sport, but a combination of all three that adds to the sport's complexity and appeal. The authors present the best lies and techniques for catching striped bass, bonito, bluefish, weakfish, false albacore, permit, bonefish, tarpon, snook and redfish. Adding further to the book's appeal, these prized species are sought in the nine best inshore fishing locations along the Atlantic coast. From the Kennebec River in Maine to Key West, Florida, readers will learn what water conditions are most favourable and which flies to present to each fish.
I used to fish with Brad Burns in the 80's and have to say that he is the best fisherman, and best story teller, that I have ever fished with. This is saying a lot considering all the characters I have met on the water. Brad has an uncanny knack for finding fish and discovering how to lure them to a fly. In addition he has a talent for translating his experiences to the printed page. This book is another example of his lucid and informative style, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try fly fishing in our coastal waters.
