Good Beginner Book For Saltwater Tying

[tsimon555 0]

Have a few books off the beginner list for freshwater, but am looking for a good beginner pattern book for gulf coast saltwater inshore species(flies; escpecaily decievers, clousers, bend backs, bait fish patterns, crab and shrimps patterns and other popular inshore fishing flys for snook red, trout, and other gulf species) Thanks and I know the clouser is a good place for me to get started. Love any suggestions for a newb! Thanks!

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Check out Essential Saltwater Flies by Ed Jaworoski, great book. Saltwater Patterns by Lefy Kreh and Innovative Saltwater Patterns by Veverka are also good. One I really like is Adams' Fly Fisherman's Guide to Saltwater Prey: How to Match Coastal Prey Fish and Invertebrates With the Fly Patterns That Imitate Them.

Thanks for the info!

 

So Lefty Kreh's Saltwater Patterns is more a recipe book than step by step?

Once you get a good feel from Ed Jaworoski's book you should be able to tie from the other pattern books. I also have Bob and Lefty's books but need to check out the others too. All good stuff.
