Description
Florida's coastal fishing has suffered over the years, and more and more anglers are turning toward the inland waters to fish for trophy largemouth bass, peacock bass, snook, baby tarpon, cichlids, and a host of other exotic species. This book is dedicated to fly patterns for these fish and includes step-by-step instructions as well as fishing information.

Reviews
No one I know is more knowledgeable about the techniques and patterns of fly fishing the inland waters of South Florida than Steve Kantner. While most of us were running offshore, Steve was stalking the canals, ponds, shorelines, and swamps on foot with his own unique flies-patterns that may not be fancy, but catch fish in areas that few people would even think of wetting a line. If you've ever considered fishing waters that you drive by every day, this book is a must read. -- Pat Ford, photographer and author of The Best Fly-Fishing Trips Money Can Buy
In the 30+ years my husband Pat and I have known and fished with Steve Kantner, we found his techniques and fly patterns to always be spot on. Steve's knowledge of both fly fishing and tying is truly encyclopedic. -- Glenda Kelley, former IGFA biologist and International Women's Fishing Association Hall of Famer
I have known and fished with Steve Kantner-long known as the Land Captain in South Florida fishing circles-for going on four decades. Trust me when I say that Steve has that innate "fish sense" that anglers like to think they have. Whether on the beach, the pier, a roadside ditch, or a 40-foot sport fisherman, Steve knows how get a fish at the end of his line. Or, put one at the end of yours. -- Capt. Mike Conner
