Florida’s coastal fishing has suffered over the years, and more and more anglers are turning toward the inland waters to fish for trophy largemouth bass, peacock bass, snook, baby tarpon, cichlids, and a host of other exotic species. This book is dedicated to fly patterns for these fish and includes step-by-step instructions as well as fishing information.
No one I know is more knowledgeable about the techniques and patterns of fly fishing the inland waters of South Florida than Steve Kantner. While most of us were running offshore, Steve was stalking the canals, ponds, shorelines, and swamps on foot with his own unique flies—patterns that may not be fancy, but catch fish in areas that few people would even think of wetting a line. If you’ve ever considered fishing waters that you drive by every day, this book is a must read.
