BROOK TROUT: HOW TO CATCH THEM. By L. Baverstock. Series editor Kenneth Mansfield.

(1958) 1961 reprint. Small format (94 x 163mm). Pp95. B/w illustrations. Blue boards, spine titled in dark blue.

This beginner's guide to trout fishing in small streams covers all the basics, followed by specific chapters on worm fishing; high-water worming; dry fly fishing; wet fly fishing; caddis, stone-fly larvae and grasshoppers as live baits; stalking fish at close quarters; with a final chapter on the fixed spool reel and 'sundry baits'. The title refers to wild brown trout in brooks, and not the American brook trout.
