TROUT FROM STILLWATERS. By Peter Lapsley.

(1981) 1994 abridged edition. Small 8vo paperback (130 x 197mm). Pp94 + 2pp ads. B/w illustrations.

A small-format abridged edition, containing fewer than half the pages of earlier editions, published for Stillwater Trout Angler magazine in associations with HarperCollins. The chapters concerning the nature and ecology of the trout as well as those on tackle, casting and knots have all been removed as have the photographs found in earlier editions. "The author formulates his own theories, having looked carefully at the views of other experts and tested them by practical experiment." "Peter Lapsley has owned and managed a stillwater fishery and therefore approaches his subject as both angling enthusiast and fishery proprietor." Chapters include: In the beginning; Reservoir bank fishing; Imitative fishing; Stillwater stalking; Going afloat; To drift the loch; Reservoir boat tactics; Waterside ways.
