(1984) later reprint. Large 8vo (165 x 240mm). Pp448. Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations. Maroon boards, spine titled in gilt.

The most comprehensive, useful and readable guide to salmon fishing in the UK. "Its success derives from his original thinking, a lifetime's observation of salmon behaviour and his outstanding ability as a naturalist and writer to communicate these and the techniques of angling to his readers in a lucid, good-natured and uncomplicated way." Covers flyfishing for salmon comprehensively, but also includes chapters on spinning, worming, and the use of prawn and shrimp.
