Peter Reeves draws on extensive experience and knowledge gained over many years to give a comprehensive summary of requirements, suggestions and practical techniques for the whole spectrum of stillwater fishing. Subjects explored include basic motivations, essentials in equipment, casting and presentation, analysis of stillwater situations, the type of fish to target and their respective characteristics. The author also discusses the pros and cons of bank versus boat fishing and guides the reader through the fish's menu as the season progresses. He also introduces skills and confidence with fly-tying, making this book great study material for both experienced and novice stillwater fly fishers alike. Packed with sound advice, Reeves also emphasises the importance of appreciating the pleasure that can be gained and that success should be measured by the thrill of endeavour and personal satisfaction, and not solely the weight of the catch. Full colour photographs and b&w sketches throughout. Good condition. Hardcover, 24cm x 16cm, 184 pages.
