Lefty and I like it
 My good friend Richard Ross recently asked me what type of fishing was my favourite fishing. For a short while I was tempted to crown my home water pursuit for sea trout as my favourite, and if I had to think hard about it, my final answer would probably be just that.
But in the moment I said "bonefishing" with very little hesitation.
"That's what Lefty says too", was Richard's laconic answer.
Read more about my relation to this entertaining and highly thrilling kind of fishing in the article The Ghost and I.
Books, lies and video
 Well ok, no lies probably, but then again... the books and videos that I recommend in connection with bonefishing might very well contain a few exagerations, but that doesn't make them less worth reading or watching.
I have tried to put together a list of the best material I have found on the subject: titles which will keep you well entertained—and educate you. See the annotated and linked list of books and DVD's here.
