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.
