Product Description
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 mudding 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 striping 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, Jim Orthwein , and many others. Brown also catalogs major bonefish destinations around the world.
With its hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs (the color sections on how to spot fish are exceptionally valuable), dozens of line drawings by Bob White, and a crsip, authoritative, and extensive text, FLY FISHING FOR BONEFISH is the definitive book on what may well be fly fishing's ultimate challenge.

Outstanding 
I am a fairly experienced fly tier. This book is admittedly not for beginners, it assumes proficiency. It is well thought out, well set out, has great analysis of flies and their qualities, terrific sections on types of material and their characteristics, just the info that fly tier wants (invaluable for those new to saltwater fly tying). This is an outstanding book

Awesome, comprehensive book
I am a long time fisherman, but new at fly fishing for bonefish. This book has been wonderful for me to better understand what I am doing. This book tells you pretty much everything you need to know and much more. I enjoyed Brown's writing as well as the section in the back where world-renowned experts give their advice also. A must read for any bonefisherman.

This is the Bible of bonefishing.
This is the most complete guide to bonefishing written to date. For those of us who are addicted to fly fishing for bonefish, this book goes on every trip to the flats. There are a few more recently-written bonefishing books, with updated tackle and location descriptions, but Dick Brown's book is the most complete for learning what to expect on the flats--wading or in a boat. Great photos and drawings of different scenarios when fish are spotted, and tips on spotting fish in different wind, cloud, and temperature conditions. The book has brief descriptions of bonefishing destinations, the best times to go, and what to expect once you're there. There is also an interesting discussion of the bonefish's diet based on a recent scientific study of what bonefish eat. I've flipped through this book so many times, the pages are falling out. If you've ever been fly fishing for bonefish or you are considering going, get this book first.
