| Review |
A modern classic likely to
remain in print until the last fly is cast, this book, published in
1987, records one of the most thorough and insightful investigations
yet made into the art of flyfishing. Colour pictures show the world
as seen from the trout's point of view, and the value of close
imitation is exemplified by the success of these first rate
flyfishers in tackling some of the most 'educated' of chalkstream
trout.
If you buy only one trout fishing book, this should be it.
