Anyone keen to be initiated into the art of fly fishing needs an experienced teacher, and Chris Dawn, editor of Trout Fisherman magazine, is one of the leading authorities in the UK. Part of fly fishing's attraction is that fishermen never stop learning about their sport - the constantly changing patterns of the weather, the subtle behaviour of the fish, new developments in tackle - all these variables mean that no two days' fishing are the same. Each fishing trip presents a new challenge, and it is this unpredictability that helps to explain the attraction of fishing to its millions of followers worldwide. The author first explains the basic principles of selecting and buying tackle, how to tie a fly, and describes in detail the game fish that are the quarry of the fly angler, techniques of tackling up and casting, and the best methods for fishing specific types of water. Colour photographs throughout. Very good condition. Hardcover, 24cm x 17,5cm, 80 pages.
