If you are looking for the be all end all book on chasing striped bass via the fly, this is it. Rich Murphy has packed anything and everything there is to know about the subject into an encyclopedic book of massive proportions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn more about flyfishing for stripers. Both seasoned veterans and rookies to the game can learn from this masterpiece. Top shelf.

To declare this book as the all knowing guide to striped bass is a little far fetched for me. I agree the book was informative and the photography was great. But nothing was covered about fishing situations like the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel,fishing ocean stripers out of boats, or night fishing around docks and bridges. I think the title of this book should have been Fly Fishing For Striped Bass Off the Beach in Massachusetts. If you live up north and fish off the beach, this will be a great book for you. If you fish for stripers by any other means, don't expect this book to give you much information.
Awesome book! March 28, 2008

This book just blew us away! It is well written, the photos are beautiful and it is jam-packed with helpful info. It is so beautifully done that you could leave it out as a "coffee-table book". You will not be disappointed with this one.
Simply the best and most complete March 13, 2008

There are some fine books written about fly fishing for striped bass. This volume is the best. Murphy combines years of fishing experience with a great writing style and an in depth knowledge of striped bass and their marine habitat. As Rich Murphy is also a professional engineer with a technical knowledge of hydrology, he is able to write not only about the striped bass, but also the marine environment in an elucidating and factual way.
Additionally, the illustrations and photography in this book are fantastic. If you want to know about striped bass, their biology and environment, and how these determine effective strategies for fly-rodding for striped bass, this book is "one stop shopping". While the book has a New England emphasis, the knowledge contained will be useful for anglers over the entire range of the striper, as they will be able to understand the fish, their environment and effective fly-rodding strategies.

Hands down the best fishing "how to" book I've ever read and I've read many. This is a book you will read and re-read because there is so much information that its way too much to absorb in one or two passes. If you fish for stripers along the shore you need to read this book. If you fish offshore from a boat it will be helpful but if you poke around beaches, rocks, rivers or flats by foot or small boat you will become a better fisherman...the diagrams are worth the price of the book alone!
