Their designs and patterns have been successfully fished regionally--from the southern tip of New Jersey up through the rugged coastline of Maine, and most all locations in between. Within these pages are the "go-to" designs that each contributing fly tier, professional guide and captain uses when the going gets tough. This comprehensive book contains beautiful photographs and stunning artwork, plus descriptions and recipes for 370 of the most effective northeast saltwater fly patterns being used today. An indispensable guide for fly tying, this book will become a "must-have" for the serious or aspiring saltwater fly tier and fly angler.

Reviews:
Saltwater Flies of the Northeast is comprehensive; it includes all pattern genres, and all eras. This book both captures the state of the art in Northeast saltwater fly pattern development as of 2006, and will serve as a foundation for future fly pattern development--for any geographic region near the sea--by the tiers of tomorrow." ---Alan Caolo, Author Sight-Fishing for Striped Bass

"Angelo's effort is home to the soul of northeast saltwater fly fishing. Pioneers (Curcione and Popovics), legends (Clouser and Kreh) and local masters like Mikkleson, Becker, Skok and Patlen all cast their imitations in the waters of this invaluable work." ---Bob Lindquist, Internationally prominent fly tier

"This book may be a rarity in the new genre of saltwater fly tying books. It is well written, understandable and not self-promotion disguised as a fly pattern book. It identifies the roots and the energy that is vital to understanding the heartbeat of true saltwater fly tying creativity and gives those who develop innovations and explore nuance on root themes a place to display their noteworthy efforts to add interesting and valuable variety to the Northeast saltwater tradition." - Ken Abrames Author Striper Moon

"Peluso left no stone unturned. Easily the most comprehensive pattern and tying book ever written, dedicated solely to the Northeastern saltwater fly angler. There is something for everyone in this book. Saltwater Flies of the Northeast will "appeal to all saltwater fly fishermen, as well as the beginner, intermediate and advanced fly tier. The fly designers' tying tips, as well as how to fish their patterns, makes this more then your typical coffee table book. My copy will sit next to my tying bench!" -Henry Cowen, author and fly tier

"This is a very important book. Northeast saltwater fly tiers have been at the forefront of worldwide fly tying for the last twenty years. Many of these names, while not recognized outside of their region, will be well known to anyone interested in tying fifty to one hundred years from now. This book could be seen as The Northeast School of Fly Tying; this is where it's been happening, and Angelo Peluso recognized it! -Mark Sedotti, world renown fly caster

Fly Fishing Long Island is a comprehensive guide to freshwater and saltwater angling and the first of its kind for fly-fishing the waters of Long Island. The book explores the extensive fly-fishing opportunities of the waters surrounding this 1,411 square mile piece of real estate, an island fortuitously nestled between the Long Island Sound to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. To the west is New York City, which amazingly has become a world-class fly fishery in its own right. At the extreme southeastern tip of the Island lie the fabled waters of Montauk, where many a fly fisherman's dream has been realized. Slightly to the north are Orient Point and the legendary Race. Bracketing the Island are both the North Shore and South Shore coastlines, which offer extensive world-class fly-fishing opportunities. The fertile waters of the Long Island Sound…approximately 122 miles long…and the expansive Atlantic Ocean define the character and scope of the Island's angling potential, as do the many harbors, inlets and bays of Long Island and play host to striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, fluke, false albacore, bonito, Spanish mackerel, skipjack, and small blue fin tuna.

The Island's fishing potential goes well beyond its saltwater boundaries and into the interior of the Island itself. Its lakes, ponds and rivers also support an excellent fishery for trout and bass and indigenous panfish. Considerable freshwater fly- fishing opportunities exist on Long Island and represent a significant sport fishing resource with substantial angling opportunities. Within the Island's fresh waters one will find not only a prolific variety of sport fish, but specimens that qualify as northern trophies.

Fly Fishing Long Island explores all the significant opportunities for fishing both venues and presents locations, tackle, flies and techniques, as well as informative tip-filled anecdotes. This book will be your guide to accessible world-class fly fishing.

Tia is a heartwarming tale of ambition, hope and dreams fulfilled - she's the smallest mouse in the forest, and she's got the biggest dream. This story began as a bedtime tale for the author's two daughters and portrays the exploits of Tia as she pursues an almost impossible dream. Armed with a persistent spirit to explore the unknown and a strong desire to achieve her goal, this diminutive field mouse confronts potentially overwhelming odds in her quest to make her dream a reality. Although discouraged by numerous challenges and misfortune, Tia tries again and again and refuses to concede defeat. It is an adventure that both requires and builds confidence. With the love and encouragement of a supportive family and help from some unexpected friends, Tia reaches for greatness and her grandest dream.

Tia's message to children is to never stop dreaming, always believe in yourself and your abilities and you will accomplish things in life that appear impossible to others.

Reviews:
"Tia's story is a reminder of what every parent hopes to instill in their child as they face the many challenges of life. Tia's adventure is full of trials and tribulations that end with the greatest reward of all - the fulfillment of a dream. This is one book that every parent should have on their child's book shelf." A reader from New Jersey

"This is a story of unlikely achievement of a resourceful and energetic mouse, Tia. A fun story, with charming, on- target illustrations, the theme of overcoming great odds to reach your dream is touching and inspiring. Kids love it and I want to read it over and over. As a grandfather, I couldn't help but shed a tear of joy as Tia reaches her goal and finds it worth all the trials and tribulations." A reader from Texas

"I am in the forth grade and I think Tia is a great book because it tells children never to give up their dreams. And it also tells them that if they can't do it the first time to try and try again. And if they keep trying they can reach goal" A young reader from New Jersey

"Tia is a wonderful story about the power of dreams and determination. Its message, while geared for children, is equally salient to adults. Tia teaches us the power of inner strength, as well as the incredible ability of external support to drive us even harder toward our goals. Tia is able to push herself to new heights through internal motivation, familial support and an unexpected helping hand" A reader from New York

"I am in the first grade and I love Tia. She is a brave little mouse with a big big dream. Tia has a nice family and lots of friends who help her. I took Tia to school and my teacher read it to my class and everyone loved it too. And my cousins loved it and took it to school too." A very young reader from Long Island

"Tia is a refreshing and timely reminder that children teach and influence adults as profoundly as we influence the children entrusted to our care. The most difficult lesson of all for adults - letting go- is beautifully portrayed in this story when Tia's father risks letting her pursue her dream and gains back far more in relinquishing Tia to the magic of her quest. Tia live within each of us. Her sense of wonder and her pliant yet persistent nature recall memories of what it feels like to be a child, to have a dream and to lose it, and then to regain it." A reader from New Jersey

"I cannot wait to share the story with my grandchildren. What a lovely book. Thank you." A very special reader from the Whitehouse
