Lou Tabory spells out every step and stage of how to fly fish in the salt for striped bass in this book! His writing is easily understandable and intelligent. He explains how to use the water to bring your flies to the fish, how to determine where the fish should be in many different types of water, which flies to choose in certain conditions and why, and he does all this is a manner that even a non-fly fisherman can understand! He also introduces you to his flies, all are simple, all are well thought out and very effective! I've been fly fishing the suds for 10 years now and have come to reply on more than a few of Mr. Tabory's patterns, they are simply ingenious! Like I said, should be required reading!
Simply the best book on the subject - bar none.

This is the most comprehensive and complete guide to fly rodding the salt along the cold water coast. It does have a useless equipment chapter as do all books it seems.
This might become a true classic

Being from Fairfield County, CT, the same as Lou Tabory, it seemed natural for me to buy his book, being that he learned most of his techniques here on Long Island Sound. What a great decision! Lou's book is a true masterpiece! Very thourough instruction, and plenty of tips. Whether you are an experienced flyrodder or a beginner, you'll gain vast amounts of knowledge from this great book! I know that it's helped me catch more stripers!
