Sound advice with anecdotes from the author's personal experiences as well as lore and legend. Chapters include: When the sea trout run; Spinning gear; Plug baits; Spinning for sea trout; Fly-fishing for sea trout; Bait-fishing for sea trout (legering, worming etc); A lucky day; Angling psychology. "The author deals principally with fishing on the tidal waters of the Lancashire Leven, a stream which runs from Lake Windermere to the sea. It is a ticket water which apparently provides quite good sport and - which pleases Mr Clapham, who dislikes night-fishing - fishes well for sea trout in the daytime." (The Scottish Angler, January-February 1951).
