Fishermen brag about the biggest trout. They talk about the spookiest bonefish. They speak in high excitement of the speed of a false albacore. But the permit has taunted more fishermen than all of these fish and has maintained a reputation for being truly impossible to catch. Whole clubs of frustrated permit pursuers have been created. Stories abound of fishermen who have fished for years before catching their first permit. Now, Jack Samson, editor of "Field and Stream" begins to turn the tide. Jack has pursued permit around the world and has gone further than any other writer in unlocking the mysteries of this fabled fish. "Fly Fishing for Permit" is his attempt to provide a complete guide to all aspects of permit fishing. The book provides information on equipment you will need and thorough instruction on how to use it and detailed information with maps for fishing all the famous permit areas of the world - Mexico's Ascension Bay, the Florida Keys, Belize and many more. Finally Samson has compiled an extensive selection of photographs and tying recipes of the most effective flies. In addition there is a bonus appendix of permit fishing stories from several of the most famous permit fishermen in the world, including Gordie Hill, Winston Moore and more.
