Brad Burns has made an important contribution to the L.L. Bean fly-fishing library with a thorough examination of the East Coast's most popular saltwater game fish.This essential handbook, comprised of practical advice drawn from years of experience, covers all aspects of the sport from Maine to North Carolina. It includes sections on the best areas to fish in each state, and where to find fly shops that know the local fishing structures. It also discusses the migration and spawning patterns of the striper, its diet, and where the larger specimens are likely to be found in any given area. Most helpful are practical sections on techniques for saltwater fly casting and presentation; special saltwater rods, reels, and knots; as well as flies, boats, gear, and even tackle maintenance. The information on how weather and tides affect tactics is invaluable. John Rice's illustrations show in detail where to cast your fly in each of the great varieties of water along the striper coast. The result is a comprehensive and easy-to-follow reference for the beginner and expert alike. (7 X 10, 216 pages, color photos, maps, illustrations, diagrams)

A historical look at and current guide to the Cains River in New Brunswick. There is almost a mystical aura surrounding the Cains and its Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishery. Only about a third of it was ever settled and then lightly, and by the middle of the twentieth century settlers had all given up and the river reverted to completely wild, which it still is today. The book also explores the Cains’s relationship with the Miramichi River, in particular the Black Brook, the biggest and most productive pool on the river. In low water, a substantial portion of the Cains’s fall run of fish stacks up there waiting for rain.
