Fly Fishing for Trophy Striped Bass- Tackle, Techniques, and Flies for the Fish of a Lifetime
 

John’s presentation focuses on the behavior and seasonal movements of adult striped bass, its forage, and the best presentations and equipment to pursue them throughout their range. It includes maps and charts of the best locations. He shows highlights of the 50 flies with recipes he chose to include in his book by tyers such as Scott Stryker, Jonny King, Dave Nelson, Ben Whalley, and  more. He cites top guides, and marine biologists who contributed their experience and expertise to his research.
