Praise for the First Edition
When Fly

it immediately received high praise as the bonefishing
bible becoming an instant classic. Reviewers applauded the book for
its comprehensive coverage of everything from bonefish anatomy and
feeding behavior to detailed how-to instruction on the best techniques
for finding, seeing, casting to and hooking this wary quarry. The
book also covered fly selection, fly design, and bonefishing destinations
around the world. A fascinating final chapter contains—in
addition to Dick’s own flats expertise—gives detailed
advice from guides, anglers, and world record holders Dick has known.
