Saltwater Fly Patterns, by Lefty Kreh

When it comes to good saltwater fly fishing books, the works of Lefty Kreh are hard to beat. Lefty has authored an extensive collection of books on fly casting, fly tying, and saltwater fly fishing. One thing Lefty's books share in common is that they stand the test of time. Lefty's saltwater fly book Saltwater Fly Patterns is no exception. Through its extensive collection of color plates, recipes, material and tackle tips, and historical references, Saltwater Fly Patterns makes it easier for anglers to better select and/or tie flies for their saltwater pursuits.

The array of flies showcased in Saltwater Fly Patterns is thorough, featuring flies to catch everything from bonefish to sharks. In fact, if you have ever tried to recall the name or features of a saltwater fly pattern you saw somewhere, chances are the pattern is described in this book. Like all of Kreh's work, the text is no-nonsense and there is little wasted space. I highly recommend Saltwater Fly Patterns, by Lefty Kreh.
