A superb reference for the salt water fly angler and fly-tyer, featuring a carefully selected collection of proven salt water patterns for species and fisheries around the world. Dick Stewart brings considerable practical knowledge to the subject, presenting patterns with clear materials lists, tying instructions and crisp full colour illustrations that make them easy to identify and reproduce at the vise. The book covers an impressive range of salt water imitations, from baitfish, squid and shrimp to crabs, surface patterns including poppers and other essential designs, including epoxy work, with flies suitable for targeting species including bonefish, tarpon, kingfish and many others. What makes this particularly useful is that the patterns are presented with the practical salt water angler in mind - understanding what the fly is imitating, how it is constructed and why it works. Very good condition. Softcover, 27.5cm x 22cm, 87 pages.
