Published around 1958, the book provides historical insight into the early days of trout fishing in South Africa, written as a simple, beginner-friendly guide to trout fishing in Natal (KwaZulu-Natal) specifically. The author explains basic techniques such as casting, choosing tackle, netting your fish, weather conditions and understanding trout behaviour, while also sharing her own observations of fishing in KZN's rivers – while not forgetting to address manners on the river and the perfect gentleman. The book also emphasises the values of angling, encouraging patience, discipline and respect for nature. A classic for the serious fly fishing collector's library. B&w sketches throughout.
