This book will set you ankle-deep in the vivid saltwater flats.
“Most fascinating to me are how he reads the water and the signs of fish below.” More than once on the boat, Cleare would point out the fish “right over there” and all Farrelly could see was what he thought were holes, rocks and sticks below the water’s surface. “Then I realized that some of those sticks had moved.”
…I’ve put more than 30 years into bonefishing. I’ve gone through ups and downs and have some great stories.
~Stuart Cleare
“Steve Farrelly’s Bonefish Barehanded! is a love letter to both the “how” and the “why” of the sport of bonefishing. His decision to take on the legendary bonefish guide, Stuart Cleare, as a conversation partner in the book is as wise as the advice Cleare offers within it.”

“This book sets the reader ankle-deep in the vivid saltwater flats, where lessons that transcend bonefishing how-to can be gleaned and where the angler can, upon occasion, hook a fish that pulls him out of himself.”
