Summary: Demystifying Atlantic salmon fishing
Review: Bodo removes much of the mystery (and some of the mystique) from fly fishing for Atlantic salmon in a straightforward and virile style. As one getting started (at last!) I found this book very helpful, especially in times of year, access, equipment, flies, and the basics of fishing with classic methods. I expect to become aware of the more arcane subtleties involved in persuading a salmon to take a fly, but I think I can at least begin on a solid footing--without spending a king's ransom for flies and other equipment. The mysteries can come later, on the water.

Summary: Good Enough for Government Work
Review: The Atlantic Salmon Handbook seems to cover most of the basics reasonably well, although I was still left with some questions after reading it. Also, the author's chatty style leads to numerous digressions that distract the reader and make the book less organized and more difficult to read. I would suggest checking into alternatives to the Atlantic Salmon Handbook, but if none is available, this book is "good enough for government work."

Summary: A good starting place
Review: This is the best modern introductory book for Atlantic Salmon fishing, and the one least likely to lead you astray. That said it has some severe limitations, mostly from brevity - works by Joe Bates, Charles Phair, and Lee Wulff would be worthwhile to explore.
