# A comprehensive guide to salmon, sea-trout and brown trout fishing in Scotland. "Bruce Sandison has fished throughout Scotland for almost forty years and his knowledge and experience of Scottish game fishing is gathered together in this book. More than 250 salmon and sea-trout fishing locations are described as well as upwards of 1,500 brown trout lochs. Each chapter of the guide contains a descriptive text, supported by maps and an area fishing directory giving the name, address and telephone number of where to seek permission to fish locations mentioned. Information on tactics, techniques, flies and tackle is included as well as advice about the best fishing areas. The book also describes Scottish scenery, wildlife and history encountered along the way, suggesting things to do and places of interest to visit for non-fishers; castles ancient monuments, beaches, golf courses, pony trekking, museums and exhibitions for rainy days. Game Fishing in Scotland is much more than a detailed guide to Scottish salmon, sea-trout and brown trout fishing; it is an evocative celebration of all that makes Scotland one of the most welcoming countries in the world, written by a man clearly in love with his native land."
