Cliffe describes, from his own experiences, the fishing in the lakes and streams of North and Mid-Wales, with much detail on Talyllyn, Bugeilyn, the Talybont and Cader lakes, Ardudwy and all of Snowdonia, with three short chapters on the Teifi and the Teifi Pools. This is still a valuable and practical guide to the mountain lakes.
