Pacific Coast Flies & Fly Fishing (eBook)

From Alaska to the tip of the Baja California peninsula, Pacific Coast fly fishers enjoy a wealth of angling opportunities that have inspired their own selections of new and traditional fly patterns. For the first time in the sport's history, Scott Sadil offers a lineup of proven patterns to take advantage of the region's unsurpassed reach of flyrod prey: trout, salmon, steelhead, and both the inshore and bluewater species along the east and west coasts of the Baja peninsula.Pacific Coast Flies & Fly Fishing champions the fly patterns and fly-fishing adventure unique to these waters. This book includes over 60 fly patterns, instructions for tying each pattern, and an image of the completed fly. An introductory essay for each fly describes the development of the fly, the fishing situations in which it's typically used, the angling problems it might solve, plus the fly's historical antecedents. The patterns are divided between flies used for trout, flies used for salmon and steelhead, and flies tied specifically for saltwater species.To date there has never been a single book that embraces the wealth of flies and fly-fishing adventure available to Pacific Coast anglers. Over the past three decades, author Scott Sadil has written more than any other writer about the full range of the Pacific Coasts angling opportunities. His well-known work stands at the center of the Pacific Coast fly fishing community, one of the largest in the world today.
