From the volcanic shores of Oahu to the quiet flats of Moloka’i, Saltwater Fly Fishing: A Hawaiian Odyssey is an immersive guide and personal narrative written for the salt-curious angler. This second volume in the Mad Angler Field Reports combines scientific study, storytelling, and hands-on guidance to explore Hawaii’s powerful inshore fisheries.

Driven by obsession and a thirst for knowledge, the author embarks on a 9-day expedition armed with a fly rod and a mission: understand and catch Hawaii’s most elusive inshore predators—bonefish, bluefin trevally, and Heller’s barracuda.

Inside you'll find:

• A step-by-step account of fly fishing Hawaii's rugged coasts
• Maps, strategies, and gear setups tailored for Hawaiian conditions
• Historical and cultural insights into Hawaiian fishing practices
• In-depth analysis of fish behavior, tides, weather, and terrain
• Philosophical reflections on the challenges of adapting freshwater knowledge to saltwater extremes

More than just a guide, this odyssey is a living document—a field report from the edge of the known, where wild fish, ancient spirits, and personal growth converge. Whether you're planning your first trip to the islands or seeking a deeper connection to saltwater fly fishing, this book offers the knowledge, preparation, and inspiration to answer the call of the sea.
