Description
by Lou Tabory (Author)
In this classic book, expert Lou Tabory provides professional advice on how to fly fish for striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, and other cold-water marine species. Tabory clearly instructs on how to "read" rips, bars, beaches, flats, jetties, reefs, tidal estuaries, and all other important fishing areas. He outlines what tackle fly fishermen need, which flies are most effective (and when and how they should be fished), and how to hook and play inshore game fish. There are also special sections on tides, night fishing, the use of a stripping basket, drags, and drag systems-all the information a beginning or expert marine fly fisherman needs to bring his or her skill set to the next level.
Back Jacket
In one of the landmark works of saltwater fly-fishing, expert Lou Tabory provides invaluable advice on how best to fly fish for striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, and other cold-water marine species. He describes how to read rips, bars, flats, and beaches, gives advice on the best tackle for a given set of conditions (including the best flies), and devotes special sections to tides, night fishing, chumming, and more. Twenty years after its first publication, Inshore Fly Fishing is still the only work a beginning or expert marine angler will ever need. Lou Tabory has fished these waters night and day, testing his ideas and polishing his already great casting skills. Today there are many writers who are more or less researchers: They fish a little, read a great deal, interview others, and finally, they write a book on the subject. But the information you read here is gathered from a lifetime on the water. If you are a serious angler and want to learn more about fishing this area, you won't find better or more detailed information than lies between these pages.--from the Foreword by Lefty Kreh
