About this title

Synopsis

Book by Bodo, Peter

From the Back Cover

Every year, thousands of dedicated fly fishers join the salmon-fishing tradition. This book is both an introduction to and an overview of salmon fishing. All aspects of angling, from equipment to ethics, are covered in this handbook. Chapters include: the biology of the Atlantic salmon; salmon country; when to go; gearing up; the flies, including a color section of the most popular salmon flies; the river; hooking and landing salmon; techniques for dour fish; and the ethics of salmon fishing. Peter Bodo liberally sprinkles the text with interesting and helpful anecdotes. With a valuable appendix listing public fishing opportunities and river-by-river catch statistics, The Atlantic Salmon Handbook provides enough knowledge so beginning and even advanced fly fishers can go out and fish effectively and confidently. (7 X 10 1/4, 224 pages, color photos, b&w photos, diagrams, charts)
