The author took up reservoir flyfishing "almost two decades ago, at a reservoir near his home in Kent, but found his efforts hampered by the lack of clear, concise written advice on how to proceed". This is the revised and enlarged edition of the book he wrote to fill the gap. Chapters include: Reservoirs and opportunities for trout fishing; The trout we hope to catch; Tackle, clothing and other equipment; Elementary casting and line control; Flies and ways of fishing them; Fishermen and fishing methods; Some chances for success; Six patterns for a season. Appendices discuss useful books, where to find information, and, associations deserving of an angler's support.
