Book suggestion

In each episode of the vlog I've been recommending books. To make things easier I've also decided to share the book recommendation as an individual post on here. In this episode it's Ed Mitchell's excellent Fly-fishing the Saltwater Shoreline. to buy the book from Amazon.com click  here for Amazon.co.uk click  here (By using these links you'll help support Flicking Feathers at no cost to you) Although it focuses on the US's eastern seaboard it is a great read full of useful information for saltwater fly anglers anywhere in the world. I would say this is essential reading for anyone starting to venture out in the salt with their fly rod, and is certainly a good refresher for more experienced anglers too.
