Dick Brown is author of Fly Fishing for Bonefish and Bonefish Fly Patterns, published by Lyons Press and hailed by critics and reviewers as the definitive works on bonefishing. Today, the two books—which have gone through many printings—are essential reading for both novice and experienced flats fisherman. Lyons Press has just released a new fully revised, all-color hardcover edition of Fly Fishing for Bonefish, which is available from national booksellers and angling and tackle retailers, as well as directly from www.globepequot.com. In addition to his own books, Dick has contributed to several others, including Bob Veverka’s Innovative Saltwater Flies, Mitchell Beasley’s The Complete Book of Fly-Fishing, Bill Cummings’ Atlantic Salmon Fishing, and Alan Robinson’s Saltwater Grand Slam. He also writes for fishing, fly-fishing, and outdoor magazines including Salt Water Sportsman, American Angler, Fly Fishing in Saltwaters, Fly Fisherman, Saltwater Fly Fishing, the Atlantic Salmon Journal, and The Yale Angler’s Journal. In the winter season, he gives presentations and teaches how-to clinics at fly-fishing shows, clubs, and fly shops. A fly fisherman since he was a teen, Dick has stalked bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, and other tropical saltwater species for over 30 years in the Bahamas, Caribbean, South America, and Florida Keys. He has fished extensively for Atlantic salmon in Canada’s maritime provinces and for trout and steelhead in the American West and Northwest. Today, he and his wife, Carol Wright live on the north shore of Massachusetts where they chase striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore species in their boat, About Time, when they’re not exploring bonefish flats to the south or salmon rivers to the north. Dick is a member of the New England Saltwater Fly Rodders, the International Game Fish Association, United Fly Tyers, Trout Unlimited, the Margaree Salmon Association, and Stripers Forever. He also served on the Board of Directors of New England Fly Tyers. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Connecticut and holds a B.A. in English and history. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College's Amos Tuck School of Business Executive Program. He spent most of his business career in the computer industry, running worldwide communications for a Fortune 500 computer firm and as CEO and founder of Brown Wright & Company—a high tech marketing company.
