Amazon.com Review
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.

Not worth it
This is not a fly fishing book. It is really a travelogue for those that would like to travel around the world doing some fly fishing. I'm afraid that I'm don't have that kind of money, time or energy. There is very little to recommend this book and much better information can be found in older books and on the Internet.
