A plethora of modern-day saltwater patterns

Highlighting favorite patterns of many of modern-day saltwater fly fishing's most influential tyers and fisherman, this is a book that any saltwater fly tyer can benefit from. Patterns presented are beautiful, effective, and wonderfully-imitative of many forage species preyed upon by any gamefish that resides in the salt. Some of the patterns are just incredible, and not too difficult to tie thanks to detailed recipes, and in many cases tying steps. I fly fish the length of the East Coast of the US, and can honestly say that this book is worth the money spent.

This book is the best fly tier's perspective ever!!!!

Innovative Saltwater Flies is superbly done. Veverka gathered the inputs of numerous talented tiers to develope a diverse view of saltwater fly patterns. The tiers provide autobiographies and the thought basis for their patterns. The artwork is incredible with color plates of the the patterns and beautiful sketches. It is one of the the finest fly pattern books ever made.
