STILL WATER FLY-FISHING: A MODERN GUIDE TO ANGLING IN RESERVOIRS AND LAKES. By T.C. Ivens.

(1952) 1970 3rd revised edition. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Pp284. B/w photographs, two colour plates of flies, illustrations, bibliography. Blue-gold speckled boards, spine titled in silver gilt.

One of the two or three really important books on stillwater flyfishing in Britain. Together with Clarke's "In pursuit of stillwater trout", it gave a rationale to the earlier reservoir angler, and is still one of the most useful books on the subject. Full of sensible and practical ideas and advice. This edition lacks the colour frontispiece of flies of earlier editions.
