Fly Rodding Estuaries 2003
This is my most recent book. It covers the exciting fly fishing
found in estuary situations such as salt ponds, coastal rivers,
tidal creeks and backwaters. it has plenty on gear and flies. And
it contains valuable sight-fishing tactics for striped bass, as well
as a section on fishing from kayaks, canoes and rowboats. The
book is in color with approximately 100 color photographs and 22
line illustrations.

Fly Fishing the Saltwater Shoreline 2001
While my first book -Fly Rodding the Coast- is fine for anglers with
no prior saltwater experience, this title begins more on an intermediate
skill level. You'll find a chapter on how to fly fish for Atlantic bonito
& little tunny. One on how to fly fish for striped bass. One on bluefish.
And one on
weakfish and hickory shad. There are also chapters on
properly fishing edges, forage & flies, and the coastal migration
patterns. There is also a section on solving common problems, and a chapter
on how to fish Lobsterville Beach and Dogfish Bar. Eight color fly plates,
numerous b&w photos and illustrations. 229 pages, 7.5" x 9"
Hard cover Price

Fly Rodding the Coast 1995
This is a very comprehensive text on saltwater fly fishing.
In fact some have accused it of being the best general saltwater text
available. It starts with a chapter on understanding tide and follows it up
with chapters on how to fly-fish beaches, points of land, rips, and
man made structures. In addition there is plenty of information
on gear, casting, knots, the effects of Weather, forage fish, and flies.

Read the Reviews
"The beauty of Fly Rodding the Coast is Ed Mitchell's writing. Mitchell...writes as well as he fishes - his angling prowess is well know in New England where he lives. His book flows, making saltwater fly-fishing easy to understand."
Tom Meade, Fly Fisherman magazine
"Fly Rodding the Coast.... made no mistake this is a definitive book, a "must" read for both newcomers and veterans coastal anglers. More than that it is the very model of what a how-to fly-fishing book ought to be."
Steve Raymond, Fly Fishing in Salt Waters
"Fly-fishing the Saltwater Shoreline is exhaustive, well organized, and easy to read to use. Whether you want information on fishing for a particular species, on a type of bait, on analyzing a situation or habitat, on places to fish, on a technique, or on flies you can quickly find what you need. Every page contains some tip that's going to make you a better fly fisher."
Art Scheck, Saltwater Fly-Fishing magazine
"Fly-Fishing the Saltwater Shoreline....No type of fishing requires as much knowledge about when and where to go as does saltwater fly fishing.....Ed Mitchell knows and explains the interrelated factors better than anyone. He is widely read and respected.... and the authority on the northeast coast....His first book Fly Rodding the Coast has become the standard reference on the subject.
Reviewer, Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide.
"Fly-Fishing the Saltwater Shoreline.....Mitchell writes with the authority and confidence of someone who has spent enough time on the water to know all the big and small secrets that spell the difference between angling success and failure, and he share them generously....This is a gem of a book."
Steve Raymond, Fly Fishing in Salt Waters
"Fly Rodding Estuaries........To his credit, Mitchell and his editor's make sensible decisions, avoided repetition, and left nothing out. This is a fine book and a nice addition to the body of fly-fishing literature."
Alan Caolo, Fly Fisherman magazine
