In his search for different species of our indigenous fish, the author takes the reader into many off-the-beaten-track corners of the then Union. He spreads a wide net and treats with equal fidelity the foibles of anglers, the habits of fish and of the bankside fauna. Humorous and tragic episodes follow in quick succession. There are chapters dealing with the identification of our different species of yellowfish, mudfish, kurper and tigerfish. That age-old question, "What is a kalwerkop?" is finally solved. An exhaustive index completes a book which deserves a place on every angler's bookshelf. It should be the vade mecum of all South African anglers. Hardcover, 166 pages, 22cm x 15cm.
