Book Synopsis
The silvery bonefish is the holy grail of flats fishing. Its speed and chameleonlike color make it a challenge to catch. This book covers finding bonefish from a skiff and while wading. Details on the bonefish's environment and its food provide the background, and you'll learn what tackle and flies to take and how to cast efficiently in the flats.
