The recent popularity of saltwater fly fishing has created the need for a book that presents the fundamentals of stalking and catching wary flats species. This clearly illustrated and beautifully photographed guide covers basic equipment (rods, reels, line, leaders, flies, clothing); techniques (tying knots, casting, stalking fish); species (bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, barracuda, redfish, jacks, stripers, bluefish, false albacore, bonito, sea trout, and weakfish); habitat (tides, wind, and structure); and destinations (Caribbean, Mexico, Florida Keys, Outer Banks, Chesapeake Bay, New England coast). It also includes a detailed photo sequence on the double haul, a distance-casting technique crucial for saltwater anglers.

Barry and Cathy Beck are among the most recognized names in fly fishing. They contribute photographs and articles to all the major fly-fishing magazines, have written several books, and are much-sought after tackle and travel consultants. They live in Benton, Pennsylvania.
