"Fly Fishing for Bonefish" by Dick Brown

_________________________________

"Fly Fishing for Bonefish" was written by Dick Brown, with line drawings by Bob White, and published by Lyons & Burford in New York in 1993.

This is a first edition, first printing of this comprehensive 334-page hardcover book concerning all things bonefish, profusely illustrated with color and black and white photographs, maps and charts. In essence, the last word on the subject.

The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $35.00.

From the dust jacket blurb:

“No brand of fly fishing challenges anglers more than stalking bonefish on tropical saltwater flats.
“ ‘Fly Fishing for Bonefish’ offers a definitive profile of this elusive fish and thoroughly dissects the skills needed to catch it. Brown shows how to find and see bonefish—how to spot feeding and muddling signs, the camouflage techniques the fish adopts, the effects of tide, temperature, and weather on where the fish will be and how it can be spotted. Then he gives helpful advice on how to fish cruising or tailing fish, which stripping techniques work best, how to set drag, and the most effective ways to strike and fight bonefish.

“An especially interesting section treats fly selection and design—with color plates of more than seventy patterns tied by some of today’s most innovative fly developers, including Carl Richards, Craig Mathews, Jack Gartside, Jeffrey Cardenas, Lefty Kreh, Ben Estes, Tim Borski, and many others.”
