Saltwater fly fishing continues to boom throughout the world as more and more fresh water fly anglers discover the drama and excitement of taking huge salt water fish on fly fishing tackle. Fly Fishing in Salt Water first pioneered this new territory for fly fishermen, and now, in a fully updated, revised and expanded edition, with many new photographs, Lefty Kreh brought his classic work up to date. In clear, practical terms and helpful photographs, his book treats the technique needed to catch all the major salt water species, from bonefish, tarpon, striped bass, bluefish, permit, snook, sharks, cobia, amberjack, tuna, billfish, and many more. It shows how to fish from boats and how to wade the flats, and fully explains all the tackle required and how to use it for specific jobs: the rods, the lines and leaders and the flies (which are shown in full color). Doyen of international fly fishing, Lefty provides superb advice about how to make the long casts necessary for fishing the fly in salt water, how to tease sailfish and other large fish to within fly-casting range, how to churn, how to tie the necessary knots, including chapters on the special care of tackle, the use of boats, tides and just about everything else you'll need to know for this exciting brand of fly fishing.
