About this Item

Some general wear to dustjacket, price clipped. Fifty useful flies for the salt-water angler. Eight flies are dealt with in detail with large step-by-step photographs, much in the manner of Helen Shaw's book. Mastering all of these qualifies the reader to tie any of the fifty patterns described in the subsequent section. Chapters dealing with the eight demonstration patterns are: Joe Brooks and the Platinum Blonde; Lefty Kreh and the Deceiver; Mark Sosin and the Blockbuster; Stu Apte and the Tarpon Fly; Cap Colvin and the KaBoomBoom Popper; The Shrimp Fly; The Frankee-Belle Bonefish Fly; The Honey Blonde Keel Fly. Bay co-authored three books on fly tying, including ?Saltwater Flies And How To Tie Them,? which was the first book on the subject. All books on fly fishing to that point were based on freshwater fishing.
