Fly Rodding the Coast

An excellent book with fishing references that make sense. It will be especially helpful to the freshwater stream fisherman transitioning to the salt. Why do these books have equipment chapters? Anyone going out there without a clue on equipment won't be reading any books.

Not only does Ed mitchell know what he's talkingabout when it comes to the sport of saltwater fly-fishing, but he has a real talent for making all that knowledge, easy to understand. logical,concise and a well planned work. Cant wait for hisnext project.

This book was perfect for me. It is directed at those in New England who already flyfish in fresh water who want to make the transition to salt, though it is useful to anyone who wants to flyfish in the salt. I haven't even finished it, but it keeps answering my questions before I ask them. I only wish I had read the casting section before my first day on the water -- it would have saved me a sore shoulder. The writing is superb and the illustrations are concise. My only gripe is that I like more photos, but I can deal with that.

Shows the where and whys of Northeast saltwater flyfishing. Not a fly tying book, though flys are included, it educates the reader on where to find fish, what to look for and how to catch fish under different conditions. If you have questions on this subject, this book is a good reference.

This book gives a thorough introduction to inshore fly fishing on the East Coast. He discusses how to read water patterns, how to fish for the major game fish in the Atlantic coast, and how to use saltwater tackle. The author is also an excellent writer. An enjoyable book!
