Saltwater Prey by Mary (Texas)  5 Stars
April 16, 2009
Does a great job giving different selection of fly patterns to represent the same prey fish and Invertebrates.
My favorites are the ones for killfish. Here in Texas we use killfish to catch the "Big Three": trout, flounder and redfish.

Excellent by Edwin G. Brainerd (Upstate South Carolina USA) 5 Stars
January 17, 2009
This book is an excellent reference for the Mid Atlantic to tropical saltwater angler. The book is all in color and features clear pictures of the prey item and pictures of suggested flies to imitate these items. Dr. Adams has organized the prey by type (crabs etc.) and ecological region (Mid-Water Prey Fish). A word of warning, this book is not for the beginning saltwater fly tyer. There are excellent pictures of suggested flies and their recipes but there is little in the way of tying instructions. You will need to acquire the basics of fly tying somewhere else. A super reference book for the salt-water fly fisherman!

Great by G. Churchill 5 Stars
December 30, 2007
I wish there had been a book like this for saltwater flytiers when I was getting started. If you are just getting started, experienced, or just really curious about all the different things that our great shallow water gamefish eat and how to imitate them, check this one out.

| Fly Fishing in Saltwater
by Lefty Kreh (Author)
For the subspecies of saltwater angler who insists on doing his fishing with flies, Kreh is the guru and this is the holy book. Now in its third revised edition, Fly Fishing in Salt Water first surfaced in the late '60s when the idea of fishing the seas with a fly for bluefish, stripers, bonito, and bigger game like tarpon and tuna was not only novel, it was sneered at. Fly-fishing in saltwater is still a relatively new frontier, but time has proven Kreh a visionary and the virtual father of...
