"Bonefish Fly Patterns is the most comprehensive collection of bonefish flies ever published... The book contains 150 color photographs - one for each featured pattern, many never previously published. Each fly profile is listed with its creator's authentic recipe and tying tips. Also included are tying sequences for important patterns, a discussion of design trends, a materials glossary, and a list of sources for materials, custom flies, and off-the-shelf patterns. Dick Brown does not forget to describe fly selection for different destinations, habitats, and conditions, and to advise anglers on how to present flies and what prey they portray".
