Bill Horn has a style of writing that is so informative, it puts you on the bow of the boat and you can almost feel every movement of the fish. He paints the picture of the area and the happening very much like Ernest Hemingway did. On the Bow is almost an instant way to be transported from your armchair to the thrills and excitement of being there fishing. You will not only learn a lot about the important rudiments of great angling, you will feel as though you have been doing it throughout the length of this whole fantastic book.

Bill Horn steps to the fore with On the Bow, sharing insights and entertaining stories about a flats fishery that first captured his imagination as a child. Spooled onto these pages is remarkable collection of information about the prized flats species, those who chase them, and the remarkable, yet fragile, habitats that form a backdrop for the stunning fishery—all well-salted with tips, reflections by fishing guides, and an unwavering conservation ethic.

Whether you’re new at the game or a grizzled expert, this work contains all the stuff you’ll need to know when you take your turn on the bow. The good stuff! Of particular interest are in-depth interviews with experienced flats guides from some of the great saltwater destinations across the globe. For me, On the Bow is a must have addition to my fly fishing library.
