Salt Water Fly Fishing

Joe Brooks

With the growing popularity of salt water fly-fishing today, we easily forget that this sport was only begun in the 1930s-1950s. Brooks was one of the earliest pioneers of salt water techniques and salt water flies_both of which still catch fish today. His book, originally published in 1950, remains one of the best overall guides to the sport.
