"The author made good use of his contacts. Contains information on gear, boats, guides, accommodations, techniques, and much more!" --Jimmy Jacobs, Saltwater Fly Fishing, June/July 2005

The section on angling techniques is particularly informative. "Flyrodding Florida Salt," deserves a place on every serious fly angler’s bookshelf. -- Rusty Chinnis, Anna Maria Island Sun, June 1, 2005

From the Author
Do you need information about fly fishing in Florida's saltwater? Do you need to know what tackle to use, and how to rig that tackle? Do you need to know what techniques work, and which ones do not? Do you need to know some fly patterns that are effective, and how to tie them? Do you need to know, probably more than anything else, where to go to find Florida's great saltwater gamefish? This book contains all that information, and more! This book is divided into three sections. The first section discusses tackle, techniques, and describes most of the species you are likely to encounter while fishing in Florida salt.

The second section contains interviews with dozens of top fly fishing guides from all sections of Florida. The guides share information on access, types of fishing available, best times of the year, favorite spots and flies, and a great deal of little known how-to information. The third section discusses fly selection and contains detailed descriptions on tying locally important fly patterns.

The Florida coastline is more than 2000 miles long. No single book could possibly cover every inch of it. This book pinpoints easily available fly fishing opportunities from all over the Sunshine State. I want anyone to be able to visit any area in Florida with or without a boat, fly tackle in hand, and find an hour, a day, a week, or a lifetime of quality fishing.

Good luck fly fishing in Florida's great saltwaters!

Customer Reviews

Excellent reference
This book is an excellent reference for anyone looking to find out more about fly fishing in Florida's salt water. The layout makes it easy to find the type of fishing opportunities you are looking for (wading, paddling, power boat). The author did his homework putting this together including interviewing guides and other fisherman that know specific areas better than he does.

I would highly recommend this book to any fly fisher interested in fishing Florida's coast. Bait and lure fisherman would benefit as well.
