Thoughtful reminiscences and advice on Scottish trout fishing on river and loch. The author was an advocate of imitative flies and gives much sage advice. "Dr. Leitch - practised for many years in Gourock - a book noted for its individual style and unusual flashes of humour." (Where To Fish 1930). "One of the most racy and unpretentious books on angling that have recently appeared - the author has a rare knowledge of the art of angling in stream and loch, but he is absolutely free from the pretentiousness that sometimes makes ridiculous the writings of the aspirants to big baskets and the tellers of tales of doubtful veracity." (Scotsman). Hampton gives this author's initials as A.C.
