collection of bonefish flies ever published, displaying fly designs
from such world-class flats anglers and guides as Winston Moore,
Jim Orthwein (four-time bonefish world record holder), Steve Huff,
Harry Spear, Rick Ruoff, Del Brown, John Goddard, Barry and Cathy
Beck, Lou Tabory, Tim Borski, Bob Clouser, Lefty Kreh, Tom McGuane,

of design trends, a materials glossary, and a list of sources for
materials, custom flies, and off-the-shelf patterns. Additionally,
Dick Brown describes fly selection for various destinations,
habitats, and conditions, and advises anglers on how to present
flies and what prey they portray.
With a reputation as the hot-air balloon capital of the world and
the home to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (R), the
skies of the southwestern desert city of Albuquerque frequently
showcase the magic and adventure of ballooning. This legacy links
back to the 1880s and a man by the name of Park Van Tassel. Through
his pioneering flight, Van Tassel not only opened the skies to
future generations across New Mexico, but he also opened minds to
the possibility of manned flight throughout the American West. A
charismatic, P. T. Barnum-like showman, Van Tassel rose from
obscurity to introduce the new science of ballooning and
parachuting throughout the West. Van Tassel toured
extensively--from California to Utah, Colorado, and Louisiana and
later embarking on an international journey that took him to
Hawaii, Australia, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and beyond. Sky
Rider weaves together the many threads of Van Tassel's
extraordinary life journey, situating him at last in his rightful
place among the prominent aerial exhibitionists of his time.
Praise for the previous edition "Dick Brown's bonefish book is
superb! I've read it three times. Every fisherman ought to have
this, not only the saltwater addict. This is one of the few fishing
books that I've ever read that appears impossible to
improve."
--Gene Hill, author of Hill Country and Just Tailfeathers "Dick
Brown's book is your American Express card to bonefishing--whether
you're a novice planning your first trip or a veteran of the flats,
you shouldn't leave home without it. The section on bonefish habits
and behavior alone makes Fly Fishing for Bonefish an instant
classic. The book fills a gaping hole on
the shelves of angling literature and is without question the
definitive work
on bonefish and how to catch them."
--William Tapply, author of Home Water, Gone Fishin', and Nervous
Water "The best and most comprehensive book about fly-rod
bonefishing to date!"
--Frank Woolner, former editor, Salt Water Sportsman Magazine,
and author of Modern Saltwater Sport Fishing "This book is by far
the best and most complete work on bonefish ever written. It covers
every aspect of the sport, including the biology of Albula vulpes,
innovative fly patterns, strategies on the flats, how to spot fish,
fish the tides, and much, much more. Brown is an expert bonefish
hunter and superb fly tyer. His extensive experience is augmented
by that of dozens of other experts. This book is a must-read for
beginners and experts alike!"
--Carl Richards, co-author of Backcountry Fly Fishing in Salt
Water, Fly Fishing Strategy, Prey, and Selective Trout
