It is a warm and engaging novel that follows a close-knit group of fly fishers over the course of a year in the trout waters of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and Drakensberg. Inspired by characters first mentioned in a 1947 essay about troublesome anglers, the story reimagines them as ordinary fishermen whose shared passion for fly fishing is matched by deep friendships, good-humoured banter and personal growth. As the seasons change, the novel blends memorable days on rivers and stillwaters with local history, conservation and the emotional support the friends provide when one of their group faces a life-changing challenge. B&w artwork throughout. Very good condition. Softcover, 19cm x 13cm, 402 pages.
