A classic and highly regarded guide to the art of stillwater trout fishing, written by two of the best-known names in British fly fishing: the practical expertise of Bob Church combined with the keen observation and artistic insight of Charles Jardine. This is far more than a book of fly patterns. It gets into the why behind successful stillwater fishing - understanding trout behaviour, what they are feeding on and how they respond to changing conditions. The authors cover trout feeding habits, entomology, fly selection, casting, retrieves, presentation, seasonal tactics, weather and water conditions, and the often subtle clues that tell an angler how to approach a lake. A particularly useful book for the angler wanting to move beyond simply casting a fly and start reading stillwater properly. Full colour and b&w photographs throughout. Very good condition. Hardcover, 25.5cm x 20cm, 204 pages.
