Megalops: An Angler's Affair with Tarpon

Rating:
Summary: A pleasant departure from the norm!
Review: Finally! A fresh new voice, and a departure from the mind numbing array of expert opinion fly fishing books that are floating around these days. Brown won't tell you how you should catch a tarpon on the fly, but he will tell you why! This is an entertaining book for the saltwater fly fisherman, and a beautifully bound edition for the angling book collector.

Rating:
Summary: Not worth the money
Review: For the amount of money asked, I was expecting more information about tarpon, gear, and fishing tactics. Instead, what I got was a testimonial that one person likes to fish for tarpon - plus a short history of one former fishing site.

Summary: Great Stories For Those Who Love Tarpon!
Review: If you've ever hooked a tarpon on the fly, or hope to someday, you need to read this book. The author does a great job of detailing all of the strange quirks and bizzare behaviors of the Silver King, and he does it with humor, good dialect, and a keen observation of the tarpon and his habitat. A beautifully bound book with great photos, great stories...a quick and entertaining read for the fly fisherman!

Summary: This one's not for the gear fisherman!
Review: The reader from Arkansas below obviously missed the point of this book. Perhaps he was disappointed that Mr. Brown didn't include a chapter on how to fish for tarpon with dynamite?
