Lindsay Gray was proprietor of a fishing hotel on the Torridge. A useful and scarce work which covers spinning and greased-line fishing for salmon and is particularly good on sea-trout. Includes a good section on the management of salmon and sea-trout rivers. "... has an impact far beyond this Devonshire river. It is a first-class book about the general problems of salmon fishing and salmon fisheries. And particularly interesting are the author's observations on greased line fly fishing". (W.B.C. in Trout and Salmon Magazine, May 1957).
