Redfish, Bluefish, Sheefish, Snook: Far-Flung Tales of Fly-Fishing Adventure

Description

Doctor, angler, and raconteur Donald Thomas takes fishermen on a rollicking road trip through Alaska, Costa Rica, Australia, the Galapagos, and more. Fishing in oceans along the way, he enjoys the kind of adventures most people can only dream of. Each chapter includes a sidebar that gives Thomas an opportunity to riff entertainingly on a particular game fish, as well as an "At a Glance" section with both the current IGFA All-Tackle and Fly-Rod world records for that species. The fish he tackles include the sheefish (North America's "most elusive and mysterious game fish"), smallmouth bass, mojarra and machaca, barramundi, mahi-mahi, and many more.
