FLY FISHING FOR TROUT. With Peter Lapsley.

1992 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Pp192. Colour plates of flies, photographs, illustrations. Blue-green boards, spine titled in gilt.

One of the best introductions to trout fishing on river, lake and loch. "British trout fly fishermen are truly spoilt for choice. Delightful and varied challenges are offered by the stately chalk streams of southern England, the spate rivers of Scotland, Wales, the north of England and the West Coutrny, Irish limestone loughs, Scottish lochs, and the variety of stocked reservoirs and small stillwaters scattered across the country. Each type of water calls for different tackle, tactics and techniques. Fly Fishing for Trout is a comprehensive guide to the principles of successful fishing, covering all aspects of the sport: the trout themselves, their food, tackle, flies, casting, etiquette on the water, playing and landing fish... Authoritative and highly readable, Fly Fishing for Trout is a must for anybody interested in the sport, written not only with the beginner in mind, but also the occasional fly fisher and the experienced angler who has fished only one or two types of water and wishes to try others".
