Barry and Cathy Beck’s Fly Fishing the Flats is a modern classic in the instructional genre of fly fishing literature. It isn’t groundbreaking or breathtaking. It is simply the perfect solution to a legitimate  problem:

How do I make the transition from fly fishing in  freshwater to saltwater?

Although there are many similarities, countless trout anglers have stared at the seemingly endless ocean and thought that they are literally and figuratively far away from the rivers and lakes they are used to. With great photographs and diagrams, the Becks break down the most essential aspects of saltwater fly fishing such that anyone who has fished before will have a baseline awareness of the game. There are other books that dive in deep, but  few do it as succinctly and as well as Fly Fishing the Flats.
