* -Stripers, blues, false albacore, bonito, weakfish, hickory shad One of the most respected authorities on Atlantic Coast fly fishing compiles his decades of experience in this all new, in-depth guide to species, structure, tactics, flies, and migrations. Detailed chapters on each species cover habitat, forage, and typical feeding habits. An illustrated guide to coastal structures-including troughs, sloughs, bars, flats, channels, rock piles, and estuaries-explains where and how to find the fish. A chapter on migrations provides regional information on where to find species throughout the year. With color plates of the latest and most effective saltwater flies.
