South Africa has a long and beautiful coastline that offers great salt water fly fishing opportunities, much of which are as yet unexplored. Stalking wily spotted grunter in pristine estuaries, throwing big flies to marauding kingfish in the surf, or watching the backing melt from your reel as a heavy blue-water game fish tears away from the boat, are just some of the experiences that make salt water fly fishing such a challenging and thrilling angling discipline. This comprehensive guide to fly fishing the estuaries, surf zone and offshore waters of South Africa's coastline deals in detail with subjects such as tackle and fly selection (with detailed instructions), the principles of salt water fly fishing, well-known fly rod targets and their food types, dangers and their avoidance, catch-and-release and conservation. In addition, the book covers some salt water fish species never before considered by SA writers, which also provides specific tactics used in their capture. Full colour photographs throughout. Softcover, 176 pages, 24cm x 16cm.
