Rod Hamilton has been an avid fly fisher for more than forty
years—chasing salmon, trout and steelhead from his home base in
British Columbia, Canada during the summer, and flats species in
the tropics during the winter. Through his website
diyflatsfishing.com and blog, diybonefishing.com, he shares his
passion for catching bonefish and permit on the fly with
like-minded fly fishermen from around the world. In addition to the
book and his online outlets he writes for a variety of magazines
and is currently working on a DIY bonefishing video and his next
book on tropical fly fishing.
Kirk Deeter is the editor for TROUT magazine, Angling Trade, and an
editor-at-large for Field & Stream magazine. He is the author of
five books, including The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing, which he
coauthored with the late Denver Post outdoors editor, Charlie
Meyers, and The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp.
Hamilton eloquently writes about the ethos and motivation of
bonefishing on your own…The text is engaging and conversational.
There's no ego, no wasted words. Just honest, genuine passion for
the flats. The advice is straightforward and easy to
understand. Moreover, this is the ticket to help any serious
angler who doesn't have the means or interest in paying several
thousand dollars to visit bonefish Nirvana to find success. The
meat of the book is the most detailed "where to" guide on bonefish
flats in the Western Hemisphere…Buy the book. Then go fish. On
your own. You won't be disappointed.

house that’s just a bit over your head—it takes twice as long as
hiring someone else, but it’s also twice as gratifying. In this
book, Rod’s gear is minimal, his advice is practical, and his
enthusiasm evident and contagious. Do It Yourself Bonefishing will
help increase your odds.
*Tom Bie, owner, editor, and publisher of The Drake Magazine*
Rod’s book captures the essence and spirit of DIY bonefishing. It’s
not about the numbers of fish caught but the thrill and excitement
of exploring new areas and putting the pieces of the DIY
bonefishing puzzle together on your own.
*Vince Tobia, owner, Cattaraugus Creek Outfitters*
What you get in DIY Bonefishing is a very honest manual for the DIY
adventurer that can (and should) be read in its entirety, as well
as kept in a place of easy access for reference. There really isn’t
a better written option in regards to the subject matter. It’s all
here, in detail, and extremely honest and accurate. Rod just wrote
the DIY Bonefishing blueprint, which, as anyone who has done it
themselves can tell you, is worth more than its weight in gold.
