Fly Fishing for Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon

Book Description
Among the most prized fly-rod gamefish in salt water, bonefish, permit, and tarpon are also the most challenging species to take on fly tackle. Bonefish, called "gray ghosts of the flats," feed in skinny water, are very difficult to see, and in Lefty's words "are more nervous than a cat in a dog pound." And tarpon, called "silver kings," are famed as great leapers, grow to enormous size, and require special techniques to hook and land successfully. In this gorgeous, full-color book, world-renowned fly angler Lefty Kreh covers everything you need to know to capture all three species on the long rod, including tackle selection; leaders, knots and tippets; finding fish; wading techniques; how to fish from a boat; and techniques for striking, landing, and releasing your catch. (5 x 7 1/2, 160 pages, color photos) Lefty Kreh is the most respected and best known fly-casting instructor and fly-fishing author in the world. For more than fifty years, he has travled the world with fly rod in hand.
