Reynolds' conclusions after a lifetime of trout and salmon fishing in Scotland, England, Ireland and the Pyrenees. "The author advances such unusual and provocative theories as that gut substitute is superior to the real thing for fly casts, that rainbow trout are really char, that in Spring fishing the points of trebles should be carefully bent inwards to avoid their being blunted on rocks, and - perhaps less unusual, but certainly provocative - that all fishing should be controlled by the State." (The Scottish Angler, May-June 1948).
