Gordon Churchill has been an enthusiastic angler all of his life, ever since he was little and would go fishing with his father in the lakes of upstate New York. Churchill shares his tips, tricks, and passion for fishing in Fly Fishing the Southeast Coast. Learn that you don’t have to travel to Bahamas or any other far exotic island to find the perfect catch. Many ideal places are right here in the US, including Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, and St. Augustine, Florida. In order to fly fish successfully, a fisherman must know what kind of species they want, what rod and line combo works best, what flies to stock, and of course when and where to be. For each chapter, Churchill gives advice on where to find specific species of fish, from the Striped Bass in the southeast region of the Roanoke River to Mahi Mahi in the Gulf Stream, forty miles off of Morehead City, North Carolina, as well as specifics on the approach of catching each species, as they’re all quite different. While full of tips and advice, Churchill makes it clear that, if ever fishing on the coast, you must be involved in a conservation effort. The environment and fish are constantly in danger, so make sure to always be aware and put your planet first!
