 THE BAHAMAS GUIDE May 2, 2000

Kim and Steve have done their homework! As a fan of bahamian fly fishing (and andros in particular) this is the one book I'd say that nails it. I learned a lot of things - including how little I knew. I also liked the specific details of where to fish - helpful since andros is SO vast.If I was going to the Bahamas tomorrow I'd have this book in my bag.
 Awesome even for non fishers June 24, 2001

I bought this for my boyfriend who is a fishing freak for our trip to the Bahamas. I think I had more fun reading it than he did. These folks give so much information about the islands that I think it is a MUST for fishing widows and widowers. It changed our plans as to where to go and what to do. We fished and enjoyed other parts of the islands. I laminated the cover cause we wore it out.

Well written, with a wealth of general information about the wonderful Bahamas. If your interest in flyfishing is casual, this book is a good buy. If you're avid, it's a must.
 so-so but there's not much else available April 11, 2008

This book isn't terrible - but could use some work.
** Disclaimer - we only visited Grand Bahama**
I expected the do-it-yourself sections to have some tips on where you could drive & wade out to fish, not just list independent guides instead of package deals. I don't consider hiring an independent guide to be doing it myself. Since our trip was not soley for fly fishing, we wanted to get a guide for a day or 2 & maybe do some independent fishing from shore on a couple of days. We did this, but with zero success on the days we fished from shore. Others (including both guides we used) said that fishign from shore could be productive. I had hoped that the book would have had soem tips for this type of fishing for each island. Or just told you if it wasn't a viable option for a specific island.
BTW - I can strongly recommend Captain Perry Demeritte, who is listed in this book - he was excellent.
All that said, given the selection of books available on this topic, this is probably your best bet. We also still had a great time AND got some fish.

Fun, informative, so readable. A masterly job of detailing all the lovely possibilities of vacationing in the Bahamas. I'm planning my next trip with this book in hand.
