The Sunfishes

Rating:
Summary: To narrowly focused
Review: This book should only be read by flyfishers who live in the south because it is to narrowly focused on that part of the country.Flyfishers who live farther north should buy a book with a broader scope.

Rating:
Summary: Provides excellent technique info., noting deep water.
Review: This is an excellent book if you are interested in fly fishing for bluegill, shell crackers, and other sunfish. Ellis gives a lot of pertinent info. on behavior and location. The one drawback of this 2nd edition is a lack of adequate illustrations and photos which could boost this book to 5 stars. It is a book worth underlining as you read and re-read.

Summary: The Sunfishes by Jack Ellis
Review: This is an excellent book! Jack puts sunfish in the same category as spooky trout or bonefish. He doesn't take the usual approach of how easy it is to catch them but, rather how to stalk the BIG sunfish using flies resembling what they actually eat-wasps, pupa, etc. Jack's writing always challenges the usual, well-worn approaches and gives serious,interesting alternatives. The information here can be applied to anywhere there are sunfish and big ones! Read it several times, it's worth it.
