What muskie anglers are saying about Muskie on the Fly
This is a big, handsome book that makes sense of an arcane subject.
I've done just enough muskie fishing with a fly rod to know that the
information here rings true.
John Gierach, Author of the classic Trout Bum (1986) and 14 other best-selling books of essays on the fly-fishing passion Lyons, Colorado
Muskie on the Fly will attract adventurous fly fishers to the pursuit
of the muskellunge and cause traditional-gear muskie fishers to take up
the fly rod. With great detail on the species, great fly patterns for
the chase, detailed instructions on technique, and color illustrations
and photographs throughout, Robert Tomes leaves out nothing of
importance.
Larry Ramsell, Renowned muskie-fishing expert and author of A Compendium of Muskie Angling History (2007) Hayward, Wisconsin
Having seen a muskie slash off a weed line on Webster Lake
to take a streamer author Robert Tomes was casting, I am now a
believer. But not everybody has the opportunity to see the thrilling
take in person. Guiding readers through the culture of muskie fishing,
then enticing them into the subculture of fly fishing for the fabled
freshwater predator is Tomes's gift in Muskie on the Fly. He
demystifies muskie fishing in general and builds a case why fly fishing
is at times a better option. And he does it by combing basics— flies,
rods, lines, approaches, waters, guides—with personal experiences and
guide tales that is a hybrid rare in the outdoor press. I have faith:
This is a fishing bible.
Dale Bowman, Chicago Sun Times Outdoor Editor Chicago, Illinios
At long last—a book that deals with this exciting and often
overlooked game fish. Guru Tomes knows how to tackle this legendary
fish of 10,000 casts and now he shares his secrets with us. Muskie on
the Fly will shorten your learning curve. Whether you chase muskies
with a fly or conventional gear, this book is a must!
