  • Saltwater Fly Fishing
    by Jack Samson

    • This book not only brings us up to date on the latest in rods, reels, fly lines, leaders, and flies but also makes simple the formerly complicated world of knots for the saltwater fly rodder. In addition, author Jack Samson covers the history of saltwater fly fishing from its beginnings in nineteenth-century England to the present day. But it is the exciting narrative tales of fly fishing -- from bonefish in the Bahamas and Florida Keys to sailfish and marlin from Venezuela to Australia -- that set this exceptional book apart from others in the field. Samson tells us how it feels to take the world-record roosterfish (31 pounds 12 ounces) on a fly in Costa Rica, or to battle a black marlin on a fly rod in heavy seas off Cape Bowling Green, Australia.
    Flats guru Jack Samson discusses the tricks of the trade in the increasingly popular sport of saltwater fly-fishing. The former editor in chief of Field & Stream (among other outdoors publications) covers tackle, technique, and tactics for a wide variety of saltwater quarry. But this is much more than a dry tutorial; Samson is an engaging teacher, and he liberally sprinkles his text with anecdotes from an exciting and exotic array of angling adventures. At times Saltwater Fly Fishing reads more like a collection of stories than a guide, especially true of the chapters on individual saltwater game fish. (Samson writes vividly about stalking everything from alligator gar to marlin.) But the careful reader will take away crucial details from these entertaining portraits of a world-renowned angler plying his trade in the vast saltwater arena.
