Atlantic Salmon: A Fly Fishing Reference [Paperback] Paul C. Marriner

[Revised and Updated] Atlantic salmon angling is intimidating to some, challenging for most, and second-nature to a few. To help the first two groups, and entertain (perhaps intrigue) the last, Paul Marriner has distilled more than fifty years of experiences on some 150 publicly-accessible salmon rivers into Atlantic A Fly Fishing Reference. For example, Chapter 10 - Patterns, focuses on designs to cope with the range of conditions (e.g., pool type, season, water conditions, time of day) encountered streamside. Although each design is illustrated with a successful pattern, the intent is to simultaneously educate and encourage innovation. In 233 pages including more than 300 images and illustrations, bibliography and index, the author covers the tools, techniques and tactics necessary to hook the pinnacle of freshwater fly fishing, the Atlantic salmon, wherever they are found. This Kindle edition is an updated and revised edition of the print edition.
Here's what one reviewer wrote about the print "Atlantic A Fly Fishing Reference is a carefully researched, comprehensive treatise on fishing for Atlantic salmon, with reference to rivers in Canada, the north eastern USA, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Russia’s Kola Peninsula...There have been other compendious Canadian books on fly fishing for Atlantic salmon, but Paul's Atlantic Salmon makes a substantial claim to be the definitive work of the current century. It's a must buy for Atlantic salmon fly fishers, whether they pursue the silver here in Canada, the USA or across the pond."
