Customer Reviews

Superb guide to shore-based striper fishing!5
If you're a striped bass angler on the east coast, and you don't have this book, what are you thinking?! A triumph in striper flyfishing instruction; history, gear, tactics, flies, where, when, and why.

Fly Fishing For Striped Bass in the Northeast3
To declare this book as the all knowing guide to striped bass is a little far fetched for me. I agree the book was informative and the photography was great. But nothing was covered about fishing situations like the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel,fishing ocean stripers out of boats, or night fishing around docks and bridges. I think the title of this book should have been Fly Fishing For Striped Bass Off the Beach in Massachusetts. If you live up north and fish off the beach, this will be a great book for you. If you fish for stripers by any other means, don't expect this book to give you much information.

excellent book5
book covers all aspects of stripers including their habitat, prey, predators, and fly fishing for them
