Fly Fishing for Bonefish: New and Revised by Dick Brown

No brand of fly fishing challenges anglers more than stalking bonefish on tropical saltwater flats. Fly Fishing for Bonefish offers a definitive profile of this elusive fish and thoroughly dissects the skills needed to catch it. Brown shows how to find and see bonefish—how to spot feeding and mudding signs, the camouflage techniques the fish adopts, the effects of tide, temperature, and weather on where the fish will be, and how it can be spotted. Then he gives helpful advice on how to fish cruising or tailing fish, which striping techniques work best, how to set drag, and the most effective ways to strike and fight bonefish.
