Fly-Fishing Boston: A Complete Saltwater Guide from Rhode Island to Maine

Terry Tessein is a veteran of a lifetime of fishing the Atlantic coastline, with 40 years of that in New England. Now he shares those years of experience in the first detailed guidebook to the multitude of fly fishing possibilities that lie within easy reach of downtown Boston. From the shores of Rhode Island to the coastline of southern Maine, Tessein guides saltwater anglers on where to go, when to go to find particular species, and what flies and tactics to use at each venue. Fly Fishing Boston covers both well-known areas like the Joppa Flats of Newburyport, Massachusetts, as well as relatively unknown and underfished areas along the New England coastline. In addition, Tessein explains such important coastal fishing information as tides and how they affect the movement of fish. Finally, Fly Fishing Boston is detailed enough to provide even regional fly patterns unique to specific zones. Anglers will want to read this book in the off-season in preparation for future trips, as well as pack it in the tackle bag when heading out for a day of fishing.
