Fly-fisher's Guide to to Saltwater Naturals and Their Imitation

In paperback for the first time, this beautifully illustrated, exhaustively researched reference is a one-of-a-kind classic, the pioneering and definitive work on marine gamefish's breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks--the animals on which they prey--and on the art--both practical and fine--of imitating them. Well stocked with gorgeous illustrations and photographs ... exhaustive detail on saltwater gamefish biology, behavior, appetites, and abilities ... life histories of prey species ... exact specifications of fly-tying materials and moves, with pictures of completed flies ... and suggestions for effective application, A FLY-FISHER'S GUIDE TO SALTWATER NATURALS AND THEIR IMITATION is a piscatorial treasure trove. Serious scholars of the long rod--particularly those with an appreciation for the tang of salt in their nostrils--are highly likely to feel a compulsion to own this volume, and to study it frequently, with keen interest. With 50 fine color paintings plus 88 full-color photos.
