MORE ABOUT TROUT AND SALMON. By G.P.R. Balfour-Kinnear.

1963 1st edition. Ppx,139. B/w photographs, illustrations. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt.

Mainly Scottish salmon fishing, but includes several chapters on loch and river trouting in Scotland. The author writes in his foreword "I have made no attempt at continuity in this book, which is a fisherman's pie, deriving from articles that I have written for various papers since the publication of my last books, Catching Salmon and Sea Trout and A Boy Goes Trouting. I have tried not to repeat information already given in these books, and each chapter is self-contained and deals only with its own subject." Contents include:- The scarcity of river flies handicaps Tweed fishers; Do drought and fertilisers spoil the Autumn fly-hatch; Fishing a loch with a new idea; How to fish with nymphs; More about nymphs; An artificial minnow for fourpence; Dry-fly on a trout loch; Dry-fly suggestion; Casting a fly; Clear-water worming; How choosy can a salmon be?
