The Nature of Trout - Nick Giles
| Review |
A brilliantly different book about trout, their habits, habitat needs and the aquatic life upon which they depend. Written by a fisheries scientist, this book is surely as good as we will get until a trout learns to write. The English is clear and to the point - and have no fear of scientific jargon, because Nick Giles has been very careful to explain every essential term and - more importantly - to avoid non-essential complexity.
The Nature of Trout is packed with facts, figures and helpful interpretation of scientific findings all well seasoned with a hearty sprinkling of common sense and topped with a great big dollop of practical experience. There are also some fine fishing tales to round off this thought-provoking book written by a thinking, conservation-orientated angler and fisheries scientist.
Highly recommended,
Pat O'Reilly and Sue Parker |
