Saltwater Fly Patterns by Lefty Kreh, one the foremost fly fishermen in the world, is very practical in content as well as advise. No saltwater fly tier’s workbench novice or expert would be complete without a copy handy. This book has a large variety of saltwater flies. Most of the plates have a ruler in the photo giving a dimensional reference to make it easier to build your own. Lefty gives lists of ingredients for each pattern, but does not give detailed step-by-step tying instructions. This is not a problem if the fly tier knows the basic methods for tying saltwater flies. This book is a great resource as a reference on a multitude of patterns by a lot of really good saltwater fly fisherman. Where the book shines is where Lefty gives a recommended group of flies for a particular species and the order he fishes them.Read full review
it would be the proper companion to lefty's fly fishing in salt water. it may take time to tie some of the flies, but procedures are well laid out and beginners should have no qualms. well presented in that it is not a vanity expression, since lefty gives credit to all the tyers whose flies are presented. he even rebukes those who say he tried to promote a certain fly. he gives credit to the originator and uses this particular fly more often than one of his own. i am impressed.
Very interesting and informative work on saltwater fly tying
