RARE SIGNED ORIGINAL
The Rapture of the River was first published in 1957, and sold out within days. It soon became South Africa's most in-demand fly fishing book ever - attaining classic status within a couple of years. You can revel in this remarkable autobiography of a fly fisherman and his fascinating recollections of halcyon days gone by. And you can fish virgin trout waters with him in the kind of unspoilt surroundings we can only dream about today. Forty chapters of "virtually required reading for anyone interested in South African fly fishing". Includes notes on fishing rivers such as the Smalblaar, Eerste, Tsitsa, Tina, Luzie, Little Pot, Big Pot, Mooi, Klipplaat and Berg rivers, Umzimvubu, Keiskama, Wildebeest, Cata, Mnyameni, Breede River, Knysna Lagoon and the Wolf River, among many others. Hardcover, 258 pages, 26cm x 19cm.
Very good vintage condition.
