RARE FIND!
It is an early classic work on trout angling in South Africa, first issued in 1922. It is written in a practical, observational style and reflects the early development of fly fishing in the country. The book focuses on describing fishing conditions, habitats and techniques suited to local waters. It offers guidance on tackle, flies and methods, along with the author’s personal experiences and reflections on stream fishing. Unlike many later angling books, it is strongly rooted in river fishing traditions and predates the widespread development of still water trout angling in South Africa. B&w photographs throughout. Good vintage condition. Hardcover, 21cm x 16.7cm, 125 pages.
