About this title

Synopsis:

What does a man do with white marabou plumes, bucktail hair, red and white chenile, silver tinsel and hen hackle? If that man is Sam Nix, fly fisherman extraordinaire, he ties the materials into The Marabou Streamer Fly - one of the best flies, says Sam, for almost all salt-water fish. It is just one of the pieces of tackle whose step-by-step construction and value is described here in this informative and detailed book. I keep my ears open when anyone, regardless of his experience or lack of i, talks fishing, says Sam Nix. The result is the most comprehensive book on salt-water fishing available. Mr. Nix tells what kind of rod to use, how to construct your own from rod blanks, compares poppers with streamers, talks about casting techniques, and perhaps most importantly, he suggests the way to hook a variety of fish - shad, bonito, yellowtail, striped bass, and corvina, among others - in areas ranging from the Florida Keys to the west coasts of Canada, the Unites States and Mexico. Complete with instructions and illustrations, this is the book on the how-to's and what-with's of fly fishing in salt water.
