"An assessment of 100+ anglers of the effect weather has on their fishing. The information collected from about 1896 to 1906. Very notable figures sent in their comments. 8 colour plates of magnificent watercolour paintings by Charles Whimper FZS. All the contributors opinions produce much conflict and an impression is given that weather makes little difference to the fish, but massively changes the methods used in fishing and the reactions and behaviour of the life-forms the fish are feeding on. The paintings alone make this book worthwhile and important." (Alfred A.L.Thomas). An A & C Black colour plate book.
