He paints the picture of the area and the happening very much like Ernest Hemingway did. On the Bow is almost an instant way to be transported from your armchair to the thrills and excitement of being there fishing.

Spooled onto these pages is remarkable collection of information about the prized flats species, those who chase them, and the remarkable, yet fragile, habitats that form a backdrop for the stunning fishery--all well-salted with tips, reflections by fishing guides, and an unwavering conservation ethic.--Jim McDuffie, president of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust<br><br>Whether you're new at the game or a grizzled expert, this work contains all the stuff you'll need to know when you take your turn on the bow. The good stuff! Of particular interest are in-depth interviews with experienced flats guides from some of the great saltwater destinations across the globe.
