HOW TO FISH A HIGHLAND STREAM (THE TRUIM). By John Inglis Hall.
1960 1st edition. Small 8vo (115 x 185mm). Pp119. B/w diagrams by Fred [J] Taylor, sketch-map. Binding A. Green boards, spine titled in gilt.
"We suggest that very much richer rewards are likely to be reaped by those who adopt local tactics and not tactics which the author admits to be the product of holiday angling on one particular Highland stream. The use of the dry fly has its place... but the author's sweeping advocacy of this method... is wholly unwarranted... an interesting and well-written book, but with the wrong title." (Anglers' Annual 1961). Nevertheless, a minor classic by a dry-fly fisherman on a Scottish stream. The illustrator, Fred Taylor, is of course angling author Fred J. Taylor, who wrote one of the companion volumes in the same series, How To Fish The Upper Great Ouse.
