Description

Bringing the largest pelagic gamefish in the ocean to the fly. Here is the first major book devoted exclusively to the exciting world of big-game fly-fishing. Trey Combs has found the prime destinations for seventeen different species, and each has its own chapter: Dorado s, Pacific sailfish, Atlantic sailfish, blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, white marlin, albacore, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, blackfin tuna, kawakawa tuna, black skipjack, skipjack tuna, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, Pacific salmon, and inshore gamefish. Combs provide a short history and fly-fishing strategies for each gamefish, as well as delightful anecdotes of his own fishing experiences. The book also includes important, up-to-the-minute chapters on tackle and teasing techniques, a major section on bluewater flies and poppers, and tying advice from such experts as Lefty Kreh, Bob Popovics, Rod Harrison, Winston Moore, and many others. Combs s fine prose makes reading highly technical information easy and enjoyable. He has been where giant fish tear tackle apart and wear anglers out. No big-game angler should be without Bluewater Fly Fishing in their library.
