Marty

Firstly Marty, Welcome to the forum :!: Does the book cover lures and bait :?: have just got it up on amazon for £12.46 :jump:

 

[Marty H]

Hi Steve, thanks for the welcome.

Stripers and Streamers is a SW fly fishing book but has a wealth of info in regards to the enviroments we fish for bass along side the fly specific stuff. I cant reccomend it enough, I dont think you would be dissapointed.

It's a fly fishing book. the author was the guy who devised the "Rays fly".

A book that I would recommend for you on lure fishing is "The Art of Surf casting with Lures" by Zeno Hromin

Marty,

I fished many years ago on local rivers on the fly and bought a fly set up for salt water last xmas but have not used it yet, with some experts now on this forum and it's own section I think I will take the plunge and use it this year I have just ordered the book so will look forward to it arriving to read, Thanks :jump:

 

[Marty H]

Enjoy the read Steve and make sure you take that fly gear out this year. Its alot of fun.

Marty

For my money anyone thinking about flyfishing for bass would be best served by buying a copy of Lou Tabory's book. It covers the everything from gear, knots, the different areas we catch bass in and how to fish those areas. Most of the flies mentioned in the book are just as successful over here as they are over there. Lou's book takes the art/mystique out of coldwater saltwater flyfishing, and gives everyone the knowledge to be successful. He is a practical fisherman first, who wants to catch fish first and foremost. Worth it's weight in gold as far as i am concerned. By far the best book on the subject to date.

Hi

Are you referring to "Inshore fly fishing" by Lou Tabory or "Stripers on the Fly" by Lou Tabory?

I assume its the "inshore" book as that has the photo on the cover?

Also for learning fly tying from scratch is there a particularly easy to follow book or is a DVD easier?

 

[DavidEdwards]

For saltwater flies there can't be any book finer than Bob Veverka's Innovative Saltwater Flies.... sheer inspiration!
