Dr. Adams takes his marine research experience and applies it to saltwater fly-fishing situations, providing the reader a great understanding of the interplay between predator, prey and habitat. He discusses in detail habitats, which include sea grasses, mangroves, oyster bars, salt marshes, beaches, and rubble and sand flats. The book utilizes the research-based illustrations from Adams' personal experience which limits the geographical range of the book from the Carolinas, the Caribbean and the Texas coast. His analysis of the predator/prey relationships at work in the various habitats, coupled with discussions of fly selection and fishing strategies, is most noteworthy. 6x9, 210 pages, Stackpole Books, 2003, ISBN 0-8117-3105-7.
