No one I know is more knowledgeable about the techniques and patterns of fly fishing the inland waters of South Florida than Steve Kantner. While most of us were running offshore, Steve was stalking the canals, ponds, shorelines, and swamps on foot with his own unique flies—patterns that may not be fancy, but catch fish in areas that few people would even think of wetting a line. If you’ve ever considered fishing waters that you drive by every day, this book is a must read.

In the 30+ years my husband Pat and I have known and fished with Steve Kantner, we found his techniques and fly patterns to always be spot on. Steve’s knowledge of both fly fishing and tying is truly encyclopedic.
