Striper Moon-A Practical Approach to Saltwater Fly Fishing

Kenney Abrames' Striper Moon is a thorough approach to saltwater fly fishing. Abrames does an excellent job of studying his environment which serves as his basis for: 1. fly pattern construction 2. selection of necessary tackle 3. appropriate fishing techniquesHis is a tradition fly fishing approach drawing heavily from fly fishing's freshwater roots. His flies, particularly the Razzle Dazzle, the Eel Punt, and Ray's Fly, Flatwing, are staples in my fly boxes. I found Striper Moon to be a very clearly written, well-thoughtout book that outlines an entire methodology for use in the salt. Abrames' A Perfect Fish picks up where Striper Moon left off and is an excellent addition to any angler's library.

A tribute to the stripers!

One of the first few striper fishing books that I ever read, it was also one of the most memorable. The author gives a very fresh, very informative look at the ways of the striped bass, including it's haunts and it's forage, and how it all relates to the moon. But that's far from the whole thing! It's filled with stories and excellent speculation, with just the right amount of how-to and why. It's not a book based on other books, it's from the heart and the experience of Mr. Abrames himself. I found it profound and moving as the author's love and awe of the surf and the striped bass are contagious. TimS

Very solid ,insightfully written

This book is different than any of the new striper books that have come out in the past few years in that it is unique and written from experience rather than theory and hearsay. It is not a rewrite of previous efforts but is a source for many of them. It is a book that is often quoted in content but seldom acknowledged as the the background resource for much of the good information about striper fishing available today. Everyone who has read this book that I have talked to says that it is the only striper book that is really needed. They are right.
